This nation is not perfect, so we can only hope to improve it. To do so, we must find and criticize the hypocrisy in our country’s history with the fairness they once promised to their people. It is evident that the Preamble of the United States Constitution was hypocritical in 1787 because of the narrow vision of “the People,” because of the economic divide, and because of the issues plaguing their justice system, all proving that the promises written in the Preamble went unfulfilled in the year it was made. Foremost, the Constitution’s definition of “We the People” did not extend to all in its land, challenging the possibility of forming a more perfect union when the people in this union were treated unequally. For example, the circumstances of the African Americans did not reflect these ideals truly, as they are referred to as “such Persons” in Article 1, Section 9, Clause 1 of the Constitution: People.…
There were many principles from the U.S constitution. One of them is federalism, federalism in the U.S constitution was divided power between the central governments and states. Federalism is a system based on democratic rules and institutions in which the power to govern is shared between national and state governments, creating a federation. The constitution came up with amendments and the Tenth Amendment specifically is made for those powers not to be delegated to the United States by the Constitution. The national and state government has different powers. Some of the examples that the national government does is they have provide an army and navy also make treaties and conduct foreign policies, they make laws that are needed to start these powers and etc. The state government is different, they conduct elections, establish local governments, use powers the constitution doesn’t pass on to the national government or that the state doesn’t use. They also did share powers like collecting taxes, built roads, established courts, and many more. Both governments didn’t allow discrimination and provided equal protection for everyone. The Bill of Rights controlled only the federal government. The states, because of this could offer or choose not to offer the protections by the first ten amendments. After the Civil War the federal government fixed that the southern states shouldn’t be allowed without guarantees. The states that had succeeded had to guarantee black suffrage and the running of the Fourteenth Amendment which was equal protection in their new state constitutions before they…

In school, as well as throughout our daily lives, we learn in America to live by the idea of freedom and equality for all. We do not allow race, class, or creed to determine a person’s stature in the community. It may seem as if this is the standard of society, but these ideas of equality have been fought over since the beginning of written history, and even in America today, prejudice still exists. To address these and similar problems, the founding fathers of this nation created a Constitution which included laws that dealt with individual freedoms. However great the founding fathers envisioned the United States Constitution, it did not form a perfect union and justice for all. America would have to amend, or add to, the Constitution in order to serve its constituents better. The most powerful constitutional act towards equality would come with the fourteenth amendment. This amendment permanently changed constitutional law by empowering the Federal government’s jurisdiction to include local and state governments which would be required to abide by new standards of civil rights and privileges.…
In 1787 our founding fathers created the Constitution of the United States. It took lots of compromising, convincing, but in the end they created a new form of government. One compromise was that the Constitution needed a list of rights that were given to American citizens and could never be changed. This list was called the Bill of Rights. The introductory statement to the Constitution was called the preamble. The preamble summarized everything the Constitution would be explaining the purpose of the Constitution and its guidelines.…
