  • How does it impact your life today?
  • What was its impact in the Colonies?
  • Who were some of the signers? Are they American heroes?
  • How does it compare with other “constitutions”?
  • Okay so I didnt answer all of the questions last time.

     

    I did some research and it seems that one of the differences between the US Constitution and the British constitution is that the US Cons. is all in one place where as the British const. is in different areas (magna carter, etc.) Also in the British const. it basically says your rights are that you can do whatever you want except what is prohibited specifically in the const.  In the US Cons. we have specific rights that we are allowed, such as freedom of speech that are given and our rights are listed. Ours is a list of rights we have, theirs seems to be a list of rights they dont have. At least that is how it was explained to me. 

     

    As far as how it affected the colonies I did not read anything specifically staing impacts but I am sure that it was huge. It allowed for mroe freedom, such as speech media (newspapers at that time) andmuch more rights that were giv en to them. They had to work together and they formed a government system of their own where they were choosing people who could go and speak for them. The convention started with people like that it was made up oif people who were representing all of the colonies this was definitely a huge change from what they had been used to of just having a kind rule everything they were having a voice and using it verrrrry cooool =)
