Upon reading the consitutions, I began to reevaluate our current day society and relalize how truly fortunate we actually our. These constiutions were in a sense a “rude-awakening” for freedoms that we take for granetd on a daily basis. They put into perspective how little freedom we had in the past in contrast with the extraordinary amount we have in present day. Simple lines like “Men are born and remain free and equal in rights” is something we dont appreciate on a daily basis.
Eve though the consitution is often just seen as a hsitorical landmark in American history, I believe it is so much more than that. It allowed us the absolute freedom that we have today. Most of today’s society would not have been established without it. It’s not just a landmark in history, but a landmark in civil rights and freedom. It allowed the country to be as it is today.
I believe the constution is the epitome of a piece of writing that would be found within the Enlightment. It something “fresh” and “new” that doesnt necessarily go with the norm. When the rest of the country was accustomed to listening to another power, this was a dramatic and drastic statement against that.
