Constitution Day

I have always like studying and helping others. I realized that without education people, I, don´t have a future or an opportunity in life. Joining the Beta Club is a way for me to get experience and knowledge in something that I like to do or something I will like to do. Helping others with an activity that they can´t do by themselves without getting a reward but just the knowledge that you did something good, is a great thing to feel. Aiming towards my goals and dreams is one of my main priorities. Dedicating my time and effort towards it, is letting me become a better student, citizen, and person.

Meeting new people with a common goals and interests will help me establish lifelong friendships that will be there for me when I am in need. Also, meeting people knowing that we are in it together will bring up our drive and motivation to work hard and succeed in life. I want to be a part of a campus with a great community and high involvement in activities.

In September 1786, Virginia called a conference in Annapolis, Maryland to discuss ways to facilitate commerce and establish standard regulations throughout the states. Only 5 of the 13 states sent delegates, so they decided to meet again the following summer to amend the Articles of Confederation.

When the words “We the people” were written so eloquently on a piece of parchment in 1787, did it mean we the people of this convention or we the people of the United States? A group of men so revelled in school teaching and writings as the Founding Fathers of our country fighting for the equality of millions and the democratic processes to insure that this equality is protected were elitist. A statement that goes against all the schooling down by American history teachers for hundreds of years so relevant but we forget, was the Constitution created to be an elitist document? Did they create a new government for profit or for betterment? The Constitution was written from an elitist point of view but, by creating a government that guaranteed them with numerous rights and liberties, they protected all of those who were to also be governed.

When the America was given their independence from the Great Britain, Americans have created a government that were distinct from the previous governments. The writers of the Constitution were worried about Tyranny, since The Articles of Confederation had numerous weaknesses. It gave too much power to the King and the King had the absolute power, tyranny: a form of government in which the ruler is an absolute dictator. The meeting that the writers of the Constitutions, delegates, were called the Constitutional Convention. The Constitutional Convention was held in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on May of 1787, at the State House. All proceeding was kept secret until the delegates had presented an outcome; which was the Constitution. The Constitution

In 1783, the Americans triumphed in the American Revolution, which granted independence from Great Britain. After their victory, it became evident that the new country would need a secure and central government to thrive. The Constitution is a document formed to aid the new republic and ensure that it would become and remain stable. It gives a complete and thorough outline of the rights that all citizens are entitled to have. However, prior to the ratification of the Constitution there had to be many debates and factors that influenced the idea of such a document that would form the basis for the United States. The creation of the Constitution was a result of America’s perseverance through certain political, economic, and social issues of the 1780s. Even through the unfavorable circumstances, America was able to devise a doctrine that would become to be known as the basis for the greatest country in the world; the US

There are five particular documents that led to the development and the signing of the United States Constitution. They are the Magna Carta, the Mayflower Compact, the Declaration of Independence, the Articles of Confederation and the Federalists Papers. This paper will be discussing these documents and be stating if and how they impacted the United States constitution. Then it will be stating when the Unites States Constitution was finalized and passed and signed. Then there will be a summary of these in the conclusion of this paper.

On June 21, 1788 the constitution was ratified. Our first constitution, also known as the Articles of Confederation, was adopted towards the end of the Revolutionary War. Adopting the constitution helped us create a system of government where most of the powers were store in the states rather in the central government. The constitution pushed for a loose confederation of independent states with little power in the central government. Although the articles behold good intentions, it held no sustainability. War and peace could be made but tax could not. Trade could not be regulated. Laws passed by Congress did not ensure total enforcement. If states conflicted with one another there would be no national court system to dispute it. For a national

The Constitution was a big change for the colonies because of the new government and the ten amendments. Do you think the ratification of the Constitution was a good idea and why? During the ratification of the Constitution, the two colonies, Virginia and New Jersey, were making plans for their states. Yes, supporting the Constitution was a good idea because there is going to be someone to lead us, there would be a more powerful congress, and there would be a supreme court to make sure everyone had religious freedom, and for all people to have rights and justice.

Joining a club blind of who else was joining challenged me to interact and develop relationships with people who would have otherwise been strangers to me. This helped improve the quality of the High School experience of others and myself as it helped form bonds that will continue post-graduation. Participating in activities with these new friends from Key Club has made me a better person because these relationships have acted as training wheel in the process of associating servitude with fun. Most importantly though, the expansion of my social life through Key Club has helped me cope with the stress of

Associated Students provides a direct outlet to change the lives of the students and faculty here at UCSB, with creating lasting impacts on the decisions made. Focusing my energy towards a positive impact. Using my peers thought and concern to help usher in the future of UCSB and the community around it. This also gives me the opportunity to view how each branch of government interacts with each other directly as it occurs. Along with that it will give me an the chance to meet like minded individuals to are as driven and hard working to make a lasting impact on the school.

The Constitution was a national salvation due to it’s centralization of power. It allowed the United States of America to be truly united because it granted a president as well as different branches of government, therefore the American government was centralized. Without The Constitution, America would be unable to protect itself, repay debts and collect taxes.

As a freshman at UNCW, I was starting out in a new place for the very first time, away from my friends and family. So many different thoughts were running through my mind like “How do I make friends.” Maybe I could join different clubs and organizations around campus. I found myself wanting sign up for sorority recruitment, to see what Greek life was about here at UNCW.

After taking the “Constitution Quiz,” I was very disappointed. Not only did I earn a 6/10 on the quiz, but I noticed a relatively low score of 7/10 for the state of California. Considering my performance in school and love for American history, I was embarrassed. I truly believe that this is a legitimate reflection on society’s horrible job of teaching the youth about the government in which they are under. Up until this point in the educational system, we students have not been exposed to the study of our own government or that of any other governmental system. Our knowledge dwindles past the obvious three branches of the U.S. government. Compared to other countries, we are far behind. I traveled to Japan this summer

It allows students to feel like a part of the college, as if the belong. Once a feeling of belonging has been established, it will become harder to leave, to give up or dropout.
