The rights I enjoy of the U.S constitution are rights to bare arms I enjoy this because if we did not have this then there would be no hunting and we could not have weapons in our homes.

ReplyDeleteMy friends aren’t slaves.
When I turn 18 I will be able to vote.
I can say that I don’t like something about our government without being punished.
The government does not force me to believe in a religion that I don’t believe in.
2. If we didn’t have a Constitution we would probably be in a dictatorship not a democracy. Our country would not be a very good place to live, and more than likely less people would live here.
3. The overall purpose of the Constitution is to make sure that we are living the best life possible. The Constitution protects us from so many things that we don’t want around us.

US Constitution
ReplyDelete• I enjoy all of the rights, but the 8th amendment I enjoy most. Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.
• Our country would be a total wreck without the constitution. Nothing would be fair. I would very much dislike it. I’m thankful for our constitution.
• The Constitution was a spare document, providing few details about how the U.S. government would run itself. It explained the rough organization of the three branches, how they would interact with the states, and how the document could be amended. Filling in the details was left to future leaders.
• It was signed on September 17, 1787 in Philadelphia. Important people who signed it are: John Blair, James Madison, George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, and Alexander Hamilton.

I enjoy the right to have freedom of religion, the right to vote when of age, and women’s freedom. If we did not have a constitution our country would not be the country we know today. There would be chaos and confusion. The purpose for the constitution is to maintain our country and keep everything fair and just. The constitution was signed by about 40 people at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on September 17, 1787 (http://usgovinfo.about.com/blconstday.htm).

Some of the rights that I enjoy from the Constitution are the right for free speech, free will, and freedom in general. I am very thankful for the first amendment. I am glad I am aloud to practice my religious ways. And I am proud to be an American.
ReplyDeleteWithout the Constitution our country, I think, would be total chaos. There would be no freedom of speech or press anymore, so then people would find new ways to express their ideas. No one knows what they would do; they could kill someone to get noticed. Without the Constitution, there would be no laws, no justice. I think that the U.S. Constitution keeps us balanced and helps more people get along. Without the Constitution, people who work for the government would always be trying to overthrow eachother. The president wouldnt really matter than because everyone could overthrow him too. Also women would have absolutely no rights, like other countries where women can't vote or work as part of the government. We need the Constitution.
The overall purpose of the Constituition is to keep balance and free rights in our country. The constitution does a lot more than we realize and we need to be grateful for that.

Some rights that I enjoy as a result of the U.S. Constitution are the freedom of speech, freedom of religion, the freedom to petition, and the freedom to peacefully assemble. I also have the right that for my private property to be searched there must be a search warrant, and the right to have a lawyer to represent me in court.
ReplyDeleteWithout the Constitution, there would be no checks and balances, thus, one branch of government could overrule the others, or the president could become a dictator. Also, we, the people of the United States, would not have a say in the government. This proves that it is vital for the United States to have a constitution to set the foundation for the U.S. government.
First of all, the Constitution sets the beliefs that people share about what rights they should have as people. Second, the Constitution works as the foundation for the whole U.S. Government. Thirdly, the Constitution states the limits of life by law, in which you cannot exceed.
The United States Constitution was signed on September 17, 1787 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The Constitution was signed by 38 of the 41 delegates who were represented at the convention in Philadelphia. The delegates represented their state in the convention in Philadelphia. Some of the delegates were Alexander Hamilton, Benjamin Franklin, James Madison, and George Washington.(http://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/us-constitution-signed)(http://hercules.gcsu.edu/~hedmonds/U.S.%20Constitution/Constitution%20signers.htm)
Today, the original United States Constitution is kept at the National Archives, located in Washington, D.C. (http://www.archives.gov/)
1.)September 7, 1787 was when the U.S. Constitution was signed. http://www.archives.gov/exhibits/charters/constitution.html

http://answers.ask.com/Society/Politics/where_is_the_original_constitution_located
4.)The rights that I enjoy are in Amendment 1 and Amendment 13. Amendment one lets anyone state how they feel about the government, but with only a few restrictions. Also, every religion is respected, and no one shall be takin’ away for exercising their religion. For Amendment 13, I enjoy this amendment because it doesn’t allow slavery anymore. Even though there will be racism between whites and African Americans, the African Americans aren’t bound to do awful jobs and to be treated terribly.
If we didn’t have our Constitution, the United States would be chaotic. I believe that women would still not have the right to vote, and slavery would still be going on to this day. As well as the people wouldn’t be able to speak their mind about the government, and there would be discrimination between religions. Basically, a lot of fighting would be going on; between the politicians, government, race, color, religion, who has the better job financially, etc. http://www.usconstitution.net/const.html
5.)The overall purpose of the U.S Constitution is to keep order inside the United States. It’s to stop all the fighting between each other, and bring peace.
I enjoy freedom of speech because it lets me say what I want. I can say something good or bad about something. Freedom of the press allows me to be able to write what I think and it doesnt always need to be positive. I can type what I want or I can make a blog.
ReplyDeleteWithout the Constitution there propably wouldn't be a United States. Under the Articles of Confederation we had many problems and we would have no order. Right now we might be under British rule.
The Constitution replaced the Articles of Confederation. It gives the goverment certain powers and protects peoples rights.
The Federal Convention was held at Independence Hall in Philadelphia on September 17, 1787. It was signed by 39 delegates.
