Opposing Views in the United States Government

The people of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, had to establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote Welfare, and protect the Blessing of Liberty to

Assure them that the constitution would address and tackle any and all obstacles that were bad or blocking them from becoming great. The interpertion I received from reading the preamble is the massive vernacular that’s used was to persuade the citizens, that everything in the document is guaranteed. Beginning the Preamble off with, “We the people” makes it seems as the citizens came together to create the document and not one person is delegating rules or reasons. By using those words would make it easier to enforce the rules because everyone plays a

The late 1990’s into the early 2000’s was a time of great economic success that took a turn for the worst as the war against terrorism began. In America, the economy was at its peak especially on Wall Street until September 11th 2001. The attacks that occurred on September 11th deeply affected America. The attacks caused the Dow to drop tremendously along with causing the recession to deepen. America was led into of the biggest government spending periods in a long time. The cost to fund the war along with to rebuild the economy held a toll on all Americans. America had to dig itself out of a hole. Unlike the economy, technology was on the rise. Many new inventions such as wireless internet, mobile devices, and new forms of social media were created.

The United States would lose its name and stand divided if the Constitution did not bring the thirteen colonies into one body. Within this governing body, fears arise from the difficulty of controlling power in a central government, while still trying to keep unity between the states. Understanding that the United States was formed based on the people’s irritation with the corruption of the control of power in England, the Constitution reassured the people that their freedoms were going to be kept, but it required their trust. The founders of the United States Constitution established a just government through encompassing equal representation, with the people as the foundation, and protecting the injustices that could arise with the misuse of power.

An explanation of this quote is in order to find a balance between preserving individual rights and forming a long-lasting union the Declaration of Independence grants the United States’ citizens the power to shape or change their government. The government being able to be shaped by the United States’ citizens creates a long-lasting union for America. The United States of America’s inhabitants are given the power to shape the United States’ government as they see

When the Preamble starts, it says "We the People", that is talking about every citizen in the United States of America. The Preamble also states the goals that the Instead States wanted to have.

It was crucial for the colonists to figure out a way to live and work together. This was their first time making decisions without being commanded by a king or Queen and it was important to formulate and then implement a plan of action. (Schmidt, 2017). The idea of a constitution was thus created for the betterment of those living in America and has served as a rallying cry, a defense mechanism, and a safeguard for all citizens within the United States. This irreplaceable document has survived throughout time not only on paper but also in the hearts of many Americans. The Constitution of the United States officially went into effect on “September 17,1787” (Schmidt,2017, pg.35). The greatness of this constitution is still seen today as it serves as a solid base, with room allowed for re-examination or change if needed. Every now and then an issue may arise and the laws set forth into the constitution are reexamined and an amendment may be set

America is a new country. Here, the first time ever, a group of brave people cut out the bondage from Europe, free the philosophers, thinkers, also gave people desire to founding a new country. In the United States, human rights is the foundation for building this country. “I hold that in contemplation of universal law and of the Constitution the Union of these States is perpetual.” Read from the Abraham Lincoln First Inaugural Address. President Lincoln have put every effort to make The United States united together. At the time he had the First Inaugural Address on 1861, there were seven states announced separate from the United States. In his document, Lincoln had mention thirty-four times of the “constitution” and “unconstitutional”. The Constitution of the United States has been used as the central support material for his document.

“We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice…”, the words “establish justice” mean a lot to American citizens today. These words refer to the right in which every American is treated fairly and equally, and that their rights are respected by all others. Adding this phrase to the preamble of the Constitution helped in which the people knew that they would have justice, knowing that the fathers of the Constitution wanted equality amongst everyone (O/I). There was major criticism going towards the ways that the Articles of Confederation were running the country. Under the Articles of Confederation, the Congress could not tax, could not regulate trade, or enforce laws; along with many other weaknesses. George Washington states “We have errors to correct” (Document 3), in which he is agreeing with John Jay in which the Articles of Confederation are screwed up. Washington also states “We have probably had too good opinion of human nature in forming our confederation…” (Document 3), explaining the purposes of the founding fathers in that the people won’t follow the rules of society without a strong government. This strong

In Federalist No. 2, written by John Jay, includes much important information about how the nation needs to be united. He also lets the people supporting the division of the United States know that their way is not the right way for the country. It would completely weaken and disarm the country. Jay's message in all of this essay is about the importance of the nation's unity. This is still very important today and is why the United States of

Speaking against the ratification of the Constitution, Patrick Henry says, "If a wrong step be now made, the republics may be lost forever. If this new government will not come up to the expectation of the people...their liberty will be lost and tyranny must and will rise..." The leaders of the country created the U.S. Constitution due to an immense dissatisfaction with the system of government stated in the Articles of Confederation. The Articles of Confederation support a government in which there is only one branch, but it's power would be limited in order to protect the people's liberty and rights. Although the Articles of Confederation establish a better system of government than when the states were under British rule, some weaknesses were found and amended in a new document called the United States

While taking this course I benefited from learning a variety of things about the American government, as well as refreshing my memory on somethings I already knew. What didn’t work for me was my time management skills. I am used to writing papers may be two days before the due date. This did not work so well for me because the most difficult part of the paper tended to be the last part. On one of my papers I could not finish the last section of the paper because I didn’t give myself enough time. Videos that were played in during were also very helpful in this course. I did enjoy watching the clip about the Veterans. It was very shocking that many benefits that Veterans now have they weren’t automatically given. Fighting for a country is a very

"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."(Federal Convention, 1788)

The first three words of the constitution are "We the People" because it says that the people are in power not one ruler, like a king. For example in the text it stated, "They clearly state that the people—not the king, not the legislature, not the courts—are the true rulers in American government."
