The Constitution of the U.S.

The constitution is a document showing the people what their right are,  and  also what  the limitations of the government are. The constitution is very important. It's important because it provides balance to society. (according to Ms. Reyes)

A centralized government has power  which can be exerted to federal states local authorities, and smaller units.

It is a governing structure for the nation it provides a set of rules to organize the government for the U.S. it was the first constitution for America and it was set  in the form of a national government.

The Bill of Rights and Me

The U.S. Bill of Rights is important to me because they are written fairly and meant for all, but sometimes some amendments have limitations like most things. Such as the 1st amendment, I can't just walk into a store and yell "Fire!" or something similar. You can not say anything that'll cause chaos or that'll end up with people getting hurt.

The 4th amendment doesn't allow a police to search your car when they stop you for speeding because without a warrant that is signed by a judge, that says what they're looking for and your exact location. This isn't allowed because if police could do this without a warrant they could stop you for whatever reason they wanted and just search you car for nothing in particular.

With addition to the 4th amendment a police officer cannot preform an unreasonable search and seizure because if they could they could search your home when your not around or even break into your car or into your house and look for random things. To some people this is really important because they could be in possession of objects the police might find illegal.

We have the 5th amendment to prevent people from going to court multiple times for the same crime because if we go to trial over and over for the same crime eventually we will be tossed in jail. This is unfair because once we have been proved not guilty due to whatever reason it may be that means that the charges should be dropped and there shouldn't be any reason to revisit that episode in your life again.

Recording a New Nation

The first president of the United States  was George Washington. He is such a historical figure because he was the general of the  American Revolution, and this lead him to becoming the first  president of our new country. This is was significant because George Washington is the only president elected to the office of president with a unanimous vote.

The president had advisers known as the cabinet. The two people in his cabinet was Thomas
Jefferson and Alexander  Hamilton.

Thomas Jefferson wanted strict interpretation of the rules while Hamilton wanted loose interpretation.

I believe it's okay to disagree but not be disagreeable. The reason for this is because if I disagree without listening to what the other person has to say in the end you could be wrong and not know why.

I believe that we should have a cabinet that disagrees rather than agrees because this way i can acces the situation and can find a comprimise so that everyone is happy
