Analyzing the Constitution in Modern Times

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed. Having a defense of any sort should always be at the forefront of any developing nations agenda, but as a right to bear arms this not only speaks for the safety of us as a nation, but for the safety of us as individuals. The right to bear arms means that you can own guns, weapons, for your own safety or for hunting, whatever the reason may be. This amendment secures you that right. With how drastically the world has changed since the inception this has constantly been a topic of discussion as weapons are being used in ways we never had to deal with previously. This amendment is being pushed to change just for the safety of our public, but is being pushed back by citizens defending their right to own their "arms".  This video analyzes the debates surrounding this amendment. This stemming from the second comma, t...

Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or of the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. The first amendment covers a lot of ground and is the precursor for many of ways we are allowed to express ourselves, our beliefs, and our opinions. This amendment really opens up what it means to be free. We are not dominated or cultivated toward anything in particular. You are allowed to not agree with the majority, and you can follow your own beliefs. Being able to speak your mind, either in opposition or to stand up for something, really defines our nation. This video displays our first amendment in action during recent times. The opposition of Trump's immigration policies are a dividing force which has led to the right of assembly in the form of protests. The video shows how emotionally powerful...

"We the People of the United States , in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice , insure domestic Tranquility , provide for the common defence ,   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 ." What the Preamble means to me is the foundation for our beliefs that are further outlined in the Constitution. It is our summarized statement for everything that we hope to accomplish as a nation. We know that a "perfect Union" is not possible, but we have laid the groundwork for achieving something close to it. To push for peace, to defend our freedom, and care for our own as well as future generations. That is why I believe our nation has continued to change for the better. This video perfectly embodies what we are looking to do in our current generation. Obama attempts to pull together the nation, de...
