The reputation of the United States¡ government is recognized as one of the earliest establishment of a democratic society. It was one of the only republic known to man which was not created by a supreme hierarchy, and therefore United States was known to be a true democratic government. However to this day there are many dilemmas which arise from the documents created by the forefathers of this country. There were many occasions where civil liberty and justice was ignored. Although, much has changed since the birth of this nation, there are many occurrences where democracy of this state has been questioned.
             To achieve a state where the representation by the people is required for the society to endure a ¡§political scripture¡ was created. According to Maier a scripture was created to endure this nation with democracy which she explained as the political scripture: ¡§Statements of belief and practice written during the American Revolution, to which generation after generation of Americans has returned for guidance and direction. Over time, they came to define the Americans as a people.¡(Maier) Based on this statement, Maier¡s description of the factual events were quite inadequate from my perspective. Although she has clearly advocated the processes for the development of a democratic United States, Maier did not explain the situations from the perspectives of the common men. She also avoided criticizing the constitution because she failed to put herself in the time when the documents were created. However, she contended that the documents ¡§were created by bodies of men who spoke for their constituents, the American people, and were ratified by the people either directly or through their elected representatives.¡(Maier) If she had clearly noted that she was not meant to be added into the law of the land maybe she would have a different opinion and judgment for the ¡§political scripture¡.
