Part A
Preamble:
"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."
Paraphrase:
The preamble explains and makes clear that all laws should be followed and that justice is served in America. The purpose being that everyone stays safe and everything is under control. The preamble doesn't state any laws or rules but just some limitations.
Legislative Branch:
-divided up into two sections (the senate and the house of representatives)
-house of representatives are elected for two years
-senate is elected for six years
-certain qualifications for the representative
-senate may propose bills
-has control of taxes
Executive Branch:
-in order to become president there are qualifications such as being American born
-the president has say on which laws can be created
- make sure all laws are being followed
-president remains for four years and can be elected for another term only once
Judicial Branch:
-lower federal courts
- supreme court
-looking over laws
-deals with problems within states
Questions:
-Who had say in the Constitution?
-Where did they get all of the laws?
-Who thought of making different branches within?
-What are each branch not allowed to do?
-do they ever think about how many laws are not followed?
Feelings:
When doing this i was tired and it got boring toward the end. Some of it interest me such as what each branch can do and how everything is broken down into sections. It amazes me how much is followed but at the same time how much is not. There are many things that can be changed with the Constitution to better it but as of now it gives the people and outline such as boundaries. Some of the constitution can be fair such as in the judicial branch and how they over look laws. I feel like there is little information giving for each branch such as what they do. I found this assignment fairly hard because i didn't understand a lot that was going on and what everything meant. I had to reread a lot of the information so I could understand it more.
