?onstitution is over 200 years old and has needed to be ?hanged to fit the times of the people. Along with the Bill of Rights, the ?onstitution has been amended twenty-seven times. Su?h amendments in?lude the dispute over how the president and vi?e-president should be ele?ted (Amendment XII- the Ele?toral ?ollege), the abolishment of slavery (Amendment XIII), and the right to vote for all (Amendments XV and XIX). Sure the ?onstitution is not the original Arti?les that we on?e knew but its main purpose remains the same. The ?onstitution is always interpreted with its original intent in mind. The ?onstitution was written in an effort to have a more effi?ient government. Be?ause of its existen?e, it is said that the government of the United States is like no other on the world, helping us be?ome a world power. But apart form the greatness that the ?onstitution brings us as a ?ountry, it also outlines the basi? needs of the Ameri?an people making the ?onstitution of the United States the guidelines to our way of living. There is mu?h more to the ?onstitution of the United States than what I have dis?ussed so far. It not only outlines the frame of our federal government but it also gives importan?e to the people and their individual rights as ?itizens. This found in the first ten amendments to the ?onstitution, also regarded to as the Bill of Rights. The bill sets out the ?onstitutional guarantees of freedom expression and belief, of se?urity of ea?h person, of fair and equal treatment under the law, of freedom of religion and assembly.
