Not sure.

There goes 1..19 more to go.

The US Constitution outlines the Structure of the Government. It enumerates the powers of the 3 branches leaving all other powers to the States or the People.

the first 10 Amendments outline certain rights of the People that can NEVER be tampered with. the remaining Amendments are masturbation.

The blueprint of our government- it outlines the three branches of government, and in essence describes how they act as checks and balances to one another.
I can understand why most people don't know this though, when they see the government we actually do have...
I think that's right...it's been a while...

Thread: No Treason: The Constitution of No Authority

Good answer

What is contained in the Constitution is a listing of the Government's responsibilities to its citizens. I.E., what the Government can and cannot do and how those things need to be done in which order.

What's in the Constitution? Words ignored by today's politicians. Words manipulated by today's lawyers. Words incomprehensible by today's "Tide-Pod" generation.

5 Stars and a Pin Request, Dace! I remember how time-consuming and TEDIOUS those College assignments could be! (and you know that half the class will turn in the same exact answers as provided by Wikipedia!)


Come on, you guys! Let's help Dace! Remember when Dace helped US with Hallowe'en treatments of our Avatars? Time for Payback!!

We can only say what it was.


What it is today is a caricature of what it once stood for; The Constitution was supplanted and subverted the moment the politicians figured out they could vote themselves other people's money.

The US Constitution is the blueprint used to create the initial structure of a new nation and, with the Bill of Rights, further elaborate changes that couldn't necessarily be anticipated by the founding fathers during the construction of the original document.

The US Constitution was designed to express the hopes, desires, and idealized nation the founders worked to create. At its heart it also DID anticipate those negative influences that could prematurely end their dream if not properly addressed. Freedom, in its many forms, that of religion, speech, assembly, and the press for example, are crucial to the longevity of a successful country and needed to be successfully enumerated to insure the intent of the founders was clearly stated.

One could liken the US Constitution to a roadmap. To get from inception to wherever the journey would lead from there. Yes, there have been detours; amendments have been passed to limit occupancy of the Presidency to two, four year terms. At the time of creation there was a clear distaste by the founders for creation of a long term ruler and yet we ended up with FDR winning a third term. It was addressed with an amendment.

If you know where and how to search it, there's a great recipe for colonial style chocolate chip cookies in there.

Guidelines on how to progressively govern a body of people whether they want to be governed or not to a greater degree with each passing new decree.

The US Constitution, as ratified in 1789, contains the blueprint for our Constitutional Republic. Its seven articles describe how the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branches are to be populated as well as what responsibilities/functions each is tasked with. It seeks to limit the areas of influence that government has over the citizens lives and prevent governmental overreach. It also seeks to find a balance between the power/authority of the many States and the new, centralized Federal government. With the adoption of the Bill of Rights in 1791, the powers of this centralized government (as well as states' powers) were further limited.
The US Constitution, which began as a document meant to limit government power, changed with the adoption of the 13th Amendment when it morphed from a government limiting document to a document which could be used to control and direct the populace in a direction that the "ruling class" wants to take. Never before had an Amendment spoke to the citizens, telling us what we are to do or not to do, instead of us telling them what they can or can not do.

Today, unfortunately, the US Constitution has become nothing more than an afterthought when it comes to government function.

pinned it for more views/comments.

The US Constitution is a checks and balance system for three branches of government: Judicial, legislative and executive branches.

btw Good Luck, Dace, with your course. It's great to continue your education even through adulthood.

The US constitution is a promise.

W was an ass.

It's 17 pages long. There's that number again.

[link to constitutioncenter.org (secure)]

The Constitution has 4,543 words, including the signatures but not the certificate on the interlineations; and takes about half an hour to read.

To me, the Constitution was a guide for future generations to follow so that the People of the US would not be persecuted by future government, "leaders", or elites. It was an "Up Yours" to those who might try to control us and a reference to be followed and upheld.

Good luck on your paper! Back in my day, my papers were typed using a typewriter, and being a procrastinator, I needed White Crosses or Black Beauties (stimulant in the old days) to type throughout the night to hand in the following day. I'll never forget all the typos I made on that last page.

everything and nothing...it is supposed to be the blueprint to our government, but when it can be changed and ignored it means nothing

It's the charter founding legal document for establishing and running our government, the root of our legal system, and the highest law of the land, the United States of America.

Who came up with that question? Strictly speaking, open ended vague questions to 20 self selected people is not really a survey...usually, there are very specific questions with 3 to 5 options. I call bullshit on this assignment.

Good luck buddy, been missing your
unique humor lately.

words, sentences, ect ect ect

The U.S. Constitution is the end result of delegates (of the original states of the people they so represented) who risked their lives for freedom from a tyrannical government.

The question is what is 'in' the constitution...not what is the constitution....retarded question.
