As other have said- it defines our three, co-equal branches of government and their powers and duties. The bill of rights outlines our basic rights.

But I think the preamble states the purpose of the document (and beautifully):

"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."

Re: Need GLP Help for College Assignment
Based on a people who have a strong belief in the freedom

that is God given, it's a document that outlines the

"limitations" of the government being instituted at the

time it was conceived, to protect those freedoms from being

eroded by any other form of government.

That's why they called it a Republic instead of a Democracy.

In this form, the Constitution is only applicable to a

righteous type of Christian based theology where they

hold everyone in government accountable to the people.

And the people are held accountable to God only.

I was thinking of a saying a "quote" that was from

Benjamin Franklin...but the statement escapes me.


You said no Googling so, that's all I got in a nutshell.


Good Luck on your assignment!

Haven't been here much lately...school started up again, for both my kiddos and me so it's been hectic.

I just received an assignment for my 'Federal Government' class. I have to survey at least 20 people and record their answers.

I'm not going to 'just' ask my circle of friends and family...I want diverse replies and raw opinions....I also do not want to pester 20 random people on the street. I also think I can get some of the most original thoughts and answers here. cruise

Anyhoo..

In your OWN words and opinions (no googling!), would a few of you please answer this question..

"What is in the US Constitution?"

 Quoting: Dace



Aside from any political meaning it obviously has, the word 'constitution' can denote a person's physical bearing, a person's degree of good health, while also being used as a way to describe a person's temperament.

One synonym for this word is 'configuration'.

When this word was applied to our new Republic's system of governing laws -having titled it the Constitution of the United States of America- our forefathers were, without any doubt, using the word 'constitution' to EMPHATICALLY STATE to the rest of the world at large that the 'Bill of Rights' that they had drawn up was to be seen as the defining principles to explain the RIGHTS which the Free People of our NEW Republic were being afforded, and, governed under.

Although some in our modern times might argue that, as the 'constitution' of people in our 21st Century world has changed, therefore our CONSTITUTION should 'logically' adapt to our changing times along with it...

...the truth remains that the RIGHTS of a Free People, in order to REMAIN free, DEMANDS that the governing principles and laws of our perfect Union NEVER be diminished for the sake of our own protections. Our physical bearing, our health, our temperaments, and, above all, the very RIGHTS afforded us, as defined in our CONSTITUTION, must stand as testament to who we still are as a Free Republic.

It's the configuration upon which we declared for ourselves necessary rights and freedoms so we forever remain free of tyrannies lurking around us.

Actually, looking at it closer, it looks like a contract that was written by a group of people with the intent of exploiting a country, which they had to form first to exploit.

....

"To borrow Money on the credit of the United States;

To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes;

..uniform Laws on the subject of Bankruptcies throughout the United States;

To coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures;

To provide for the Punishment of counterfeiting the Securities and current Coin of the United States;

securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries;

To define and punish Piracies and Felonies committed on the high Seas

To declare War, grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and make Rules concerning Captures on Land and Water;

To raise and support Armies

To make Rules for the Government and Regulation of the land

To provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions"

etc etc.

Did anyone read this fucking thing before signing it?

"What is in the US Constitution?"

The US constitution is EVERYTHING to us!

The constitution holds the words we live by. It is the foundation and principles of our laws and even the basis or "spirit" of the law.

Example: Innocent until PROVEN guilty is the fundamental foundation on which our criminal law is based. You are shrouded in a cloak of righteousness until you have been PROVEN guilty of a crime. One does not need to prove they are innocent...you are presumed innocent!

Our constitution does NOT give us any rights. It acknowledges that our rights came from out Creator and what came from our Creator cannot be taken away by government.

It is the words we live by!

The founding father were intrinsically racist. Their white privilege setup the Constitution so people of colour couldn't be kangs n shit.

It wasn't until people of colour revolted and won the civil war against whitey that the white boyz amended the Constitution and added the 14th amendment that set everyone free. That includes you whitey. Thank coloured folk for your freedoms.

After the civil war was won by the coloured folk, they said fuck it, we deserve to reparations until the endz of time n shit.

It's plain to see that after the movie Black Panther came out, the reign of whitey's Constitution is over and will be reformulated so every coloured person will have a Government paid section 8 luxury crib, 2 low riders with 24 inch wheels in every coloured driveway and at least 250 - free fo coloured folk - Kentucky fried chickens in every ghetto.

Every persons liberty and power of govern.

The people are the State.Washington is the system of consolidation of states.

If the system usurps the people power then the system is invalidated. The people have the right to take back their state hood and equal powers.

That is the constitution.


This makes Lincoln the first traitor.

People can call it racist but that is just the way it is.

The 14th amendment was illegally ratified.Everything to date about the u.s government ,banking,foreign use of money, immigration is all illegitimate.

That Makes the usa a lawless nation that lives by force and not written law.

Basically there was a civil war and the constitution means nothing.We might as well be a full blown fascist nation.Once Lincoln picked up arms against the states with foreign help.
The constitution is a relic of the past.

This government is bought and paid for and does not represent the people
