Essays on The Us Constitution
The United States Constitution is the most important document in American history. It was adopted on September 17, 1787 and ratified by 9 of the 13 states needed to establish the new nation. The Constitution established a federal government with three branches: legislative, executive, and judicial. It also provided for a separation of powers between these branches, ensuring that no single branch had too much power over the others.The structure of the US Constitution is laid out in seven articles that set forth how our system of government works and what rights are guaranteed to all citizens under it. In addition to this structure, there are 27 amendments that have been added over time to further define those rights or make changes to the overall framework of our government. These amendments include such things as freedom of speech and press; protection from unreasonable searches and seizures; jury trials; due process; voting rights; equal protection under law; prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment; among others. The founding fathers recognized that an effective form of government must be flexible so they made sure that it could be amended when necessary while still preserving its core principles intact. This has allowed us to evolve as a society without having to fundamentally change our foundation documents each time we seek progress or wish to correct injustices in our present day laws or systems. As Americans today we should be thankful for what they created not only because it allows us freedoms unheard of during their times but also because without them we would not have this great country today at all.
