To be able to understand the Constitution we must investigate the idea's, the men and women and actions that brought it about. The beginning was not a seamless jaunt in national unity but a very contentious and argumentative session in American history.
Some wanted our national government to be subservient to states rights others wanted a strong central government with the states being held accountable to the central government. What came about was a compromise with each side thinking they had won. Points of view had become blurred and the defining of the Constitution was immediately put up for interpretation by the courts.
The men that were given the role for interpreting this document also had their points of views, blurring the edges even further. So, trying to understand the Constitution means we must try to understand the people who lived in that day and what was motivating their actions.
A reading of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Ben Franklin, John Adams, only to name a few, becomes indispensable to an understanding of the direction of the Constitution.
Only when we can understand the intent of our Founding Fathers can we know the direction the Constitution must take in todays world.

Oi, achei seu blog pelo google está bem interessante gostei desse post. Gostaria de falar sobre o CresceNet. O CresceNet é um provedor de internet discada que remunera seus usuários pelo tempo conectado. Exatamente isso que você leu, estão pagando para você conectar. O provedor paga 20 centavos por hora de conexão discada com ligação local para mais de 2100 cidades do Brasil. O CresceNet tem um acelerador de conexão, que deixa sua conexão até 10 vezes mais rápida. Quem utiliza banda larga pode lucrar também, basta se cadastrar no CresceNet e quando for dormir conectar por discada, é possível pagar a ADSL só com o dinheiro da discada. Nos horários de minuto único o gasto com telefone é mínimo e a remuneração do CresceNet generosa. Se você quiser linkar o Cresce.Net(www.provedorcrescenet.com) no seu blog eu ficaria agradecido, até mais e sucesso. If is possible add the CresceNet(www.provedorcrescenet.com) in your blogroll, I thank. Good bye friend.
