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 too vague to work. 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 much room to read into and take power away from other branches and into your
             branch to give yourself more power. The constitution leaves all unmentioned powers to
             the states, representing 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
             unconsiquencial. Throughout the history of the constitution the three branches of the
             government would time and time again expand their powers. Each time taking more
             powers away from the states and unbalance the system so that the original ideals set would
             be destroyed. Congress was split into two houses: the senate and the house of
             representatives. This was one of the ways which the constitution gave an unreal power to
             the people. The house is the only part of the government which is directly elected by the
             people. This made the people think they were getting a direct say in the government, but
             that wasn't true because everything done in the house would have to go through the
             senate which was run by the elite. 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. The biggest thing they used to expand their powers was a small section...
