The Constitution of the United States of America

The Constitution is the legal framework, based on Judeo-Christian beliefs, that provides the bonds that hold this great country together. This venerable document ensures citizens of this land freedoms that no other nation has ever afforded its people. While it does not guarantee that everyone will be rich, it affirms the rights of all Americans to pursue happiness. It is a living document that can be changed, but only by amendment, not by opinion. It is not desired, nor just, for the few to interpret the law based on what they think to be the popular will, or on the precedents created only by the laws of other nations. We should all take it upon ourselves to know what is written in our Constitution, and more importantly, it is imperative that we defend it, so that it can continue to protect to us.
