The Constitution, the Articles, and Federalism: Crash Course US History #8
Economy | Information | History | Online | Facts | World | Global | Money
In which John Green teaches you about the United States Constitution. During and after the American Revolutionary War, the government of the new country operated under the Articles of Confederation. While these Articles got the young nation through its war with England, they weren't of much use when it came to running a country. So, the founding fathers decided try their hand at nation-building, and they created the Constitution of the United States, which you may remember as the one that says We The People at the top. John will tell you how the convention came together, some of the compromises that had to be made to pass this thing, and why it's very lucky that the framers installed a somewhat reasonable process for making changes to the thing. You'll learn about Shays' Rebellion, the Federalist Papers, the elite vs rabble dynamic of the houses of congress, and start to find out just what an anti-federalist is.

what level of backing would one individuals draft for a revised Constitution proposed to the people before it would effectively be more liberating for the average/above-average/subaverage human persons?

I love how the Hamilton musical just changed the comment section from thoughtful discussion to HAMILTON WROTE.. THE OTHER 51!

I feel like the constitution has gotten a bit out of date, because there is not nearly enough checks & balances to make sure corporations don't directly impact the decisions of the government. Or bribe senators.
