Thoughts and Feelings While Reading Constitution
While reading the constitutions and taking notes I was annoyed by the fact that there was so much more to the constitution then i thought there was with the numerous amount of reading I had to do. I felt that there was a lot more information in each article then necessary. Some of the information didn't seem as relevant. It was really detailed and as if it was trying to include every specific detail as possible.I lost my focus a lot and often read the words but not really pay attention to what the reading was trying to teach or provoke. Although after rereading certain parts and start to get the hang of it, i couldn't help feeling as if i was reading a big book or list of just rules and laws and structures. I did not know whether I should take it seriously or not because in our society as we know it is still not as "stable" and "perfect" as the Constitution says it would be. Theses rules and laws seems to contradict the ideas of freedom and justice.
Insight and Questions
-What is the process of removing or adding other laws or rules into the constituions?
-How effective is the constitution on the United States? (Percentage Wise)
-When including freedom and justice for all, is this really true, what about minoraties or immigrants?
