The Uniqueness of the American Constitution

       We the People of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union,
establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense,
promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves
and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United
States of America.

       This document, written more than 200 years ago is still the backbone that
allows America to be an example of freedom and righteousness to the rest of the
world. Unlike any other government doctrine, the Constitution has remained an
active governing force through the changes of American society. It allows its
citizens the basic freedom of human beings and does not infringe on one's
individuality. In its uniqueness, the Constitution not only gives freedom but
also protects its people economically, religiously, politically, and socially.

       Power is a delicate element and the Constitution is careful in defining
where certain powers lie. One of the novelties about this doctrine is that it
does a clever job of dividing certain powers between the state and federal

allows for a more 'united' spirit. People in California can easily view a
commercial for a product affiliated with New York without having to translate
the cost or watch the television screen scroll down 50 different prices. The
Stock Market functions fairly smooth now, but with an East Texas businessman

time consuming. Other examples of powers held only by the federal government
are the formation and control of a militia and foreign relations. If each state
had its own army and own foreign policy combined, the idea of being 'united'
would be only an idea. These states would be more like small countries, more
like Europe. With too much power on a state level, a main government could not
function, and with too much power in the national government, states would be
just boundary lines for the names of places. The states hold just enough power
to keep the federal government from having complete control. This adds a
balance that had no duplicate in any country, which perhaps is what leaves many
people dreaming of America.

       One of the elements people incorporate into the American dream is
religious freedom. The governing forces of this country have no religious or
denominational theme. Inste...
