Paraphrasing the preamble:
In order to come together as one nation, the people of the united states need to be fair, stay peaceful without chaos, defend ourselves, stay healthy and bless ourselves and the coming generations and create a constitution to make this happen.
Legislative: The Legislative Branch makes the Law. It is made up of the House of Representatives, the Senate, and the Congress. They have control of the taxes and they have the power to declare war.
Executive: The executive branch is responsible for enforcing the laws of the land. The president is the head of this branch, he can veto laws, suggest laws, and is also head of the country.
Judicial: The judicial branch is responsible for interpreting the laws passed by the legislative branch. It is responsible for interpreting the laws of the land. They have the power to declare a law unconstitutional or create court laws.
While I was reading the constitution and taking notes at the same time, I was extremely bored. I even dozed off at times. Its not like it was all that hard to understand, since there was blue text to help, it was just in old English and very boring text.
Insights/Questions:
~Why can't we change the constitution?
~Why don't civilians have a say in what is in the constitution?
~What are the pros of the constitution?
~What are the cons of the constitution?
~will the people of America be able to meet the requirements of the preamble to for a more perfect union?
