States has been a shaky document. The very basis for it being there was in fact illegal. The
story of American politics starts with the Declaration of Independence. This document
was brilliantly written by Thomas Jefferson and compacted all of the great ideas of
enlightenment into one short easy to read paper. The declaration stated all of the ideals the
new American nation would strive for. A constitution was needed as a way in which to
fulfill those goals. The articles of confederacy were created as that constitution. However,
they were weak, because no state wanted to give away any of their powers, and so the
articles eventually failed. That is when the modern day constitution was starting to form.
The Articles of Confederacy stated that in order to change any part of the document all
thirteen states must agree to the change. Therefor a meeting was called so that they could
amend the failing articles. However, representatives from two of the states did not show
up. Even though not all states were represented the meeting started and the first vote was
to totally throw away the Articles of Confederacy. The constitution wasn’t

problems within the executive branch too. throughout the years congress has constantly expanded
their powers through a broad interpretation of the constitution and with every example
they have abused the system by unbalancing powers and taking rights away from the
people. This seems like that would be allot of power, and it
would be, except that the other three branches would read into there powers and
eventually take almost all powers so that the remaining powers were little and

it was already a flawed document. This isn’t the only time the executive branch has
abused the constitution. Yet

However, he realized he had no power to get things done. This clause states that
congress can make any laws necessary and proper to carry out their powers. No matter how it is interpreted it
can not accomplish anything towards the goals of America. In no place
does the constitution say that the federal government has any right, or power, to set up a
business. Because the constitution was so vague that problems
erupted over where the powers were to go, the three branches of the federal government
began to gain as many powers as they possibly could. The house is the only part of the government which is directly elected by the
people. This was
accomplished by making it so that it was too vague to offend anybody but you could read
into it. This incident brought up the question of who has the right to say
something is unconstitutional, because in one of the constitutions many flaws it does not
mention this most important power so everybody was claiming to posses it.
