When the United States Constitution was inaugurated, it was meant it to bring together many people, and the document was precious to the people of the United States. The main intention of the constitution was to bring prosperity and wellies to the States. Developing a political system that was development and one that cared for the needs of the people was among the key agendas.
There were the most important values that were associated with the constitution. Some of them included the abolition of slavery, the rejection of racial caste, the requirement that states and localities and respect the fundamental rights and the commitment to political equality. Apart from this, the constitution was more focused on freedom of speech and racial, gender and sexual-orientation equality.
One of the things that the founding fathers would be amazed at is to find the politician and voters who do not understand their rights. Most of them would be surprised at the fact the United States had a black president at some point. Secondly, the tax system of the country in which when one doesn’t purchase anything is judged would also be significantly questioned. The founding fathers envisioned a nation with great freedom on the citizen’s something which is not happening now. Talking of freedom, it is incredible that the United States has a debt of over $16 trillion and also on top of $1.3 billion in deficit spending (Sehat, 2016).
As a founding father, it would be a surprise to find that the United States is ruled by international agencies. Most of the federal courts in the United States and regulations rely on international treaties which were signed by the US. More importantly, some of the health reforms that have occurred in this nation would be compromised (Goldstein, 2017).
