Is the constitution still relevant today? Some would say that it is not and never has been. However‚ I happen to think otherwise. The constitution was written to establish our rights and freedoms as citizens. In my opinion the constitution is still relevant today.

1984 was written more than 60 years ago by an author named George Orwell. This book was very much like today’s society. Some people agree that 1984 is still relevant in today’s society‚ some disagree. 1984 has so many references to today’s society and relates.
