The Constitution

s too vague to offend anybody but you could read into
             it. This made for a document that would be seriously flawed
             because people would be able to read into it too much. It could
             not work. The Constitution of the United States of America was
             The way the constitution was written it gave power to four
             parts: the congress, the executive branch, the judicial branch,
             and the states. Because it was so vague it did not really define
             which powers went where (with a few exceptions). It left too
