Question

What does your text mean when it says that the Constitution, "...elevated the ideals of the Revolution even while setting boundaries to them."?

Answer 1

The idea that the Constitution, "elevated the ideals of the Revolution even while setting boundaries to them" is referring to the fact that the Constitution embodied the desires of revolutionaries to crewe a government that was drastically different than the monarchical system of government that had governed them previously. However, these ideals were also limited because the Constitutional writers also put in a system of federalism and checks and balances to check certain aspects of revolutionaries of the time.
