It appears that some folks grasp on to the Constitution to justify their preconceived thoughts regarding the administration and congress of our government today. If one reads the Preamble, it seems that answers to many questions reside in that particular part of the Constitution.
It sets forth the basic introductory statement and purpose of the Constitution. It was designed to provide direction for constitutional representatives as they attempted to provide a document to allow a new nation some sort of destination. It was not meant to be restrictive and controlling, but to see that actions of the people should and would be addressed.
In today’s environment, I am able to put it together, yet wonder why society wants to challenge its concept. The Constitution was not meant to be restrictive but to move our nation forward as it certainly has. Amendments have provided that all persons, not only property owners, are allowed to vote. These changes, as well as others, have been great decisions which reflect the country’s commitment to equality. Further amendments will accommodate more citizens as we progress as a nation. That is what it is all about.
