Why do Paine thought it was so important to have a written constitution

History

sergey [27]3 years ago

Thomas Paine believed that our God-given, inalienable rights can best be assured for all persons through the agency of a written constitution.  A written constitution details exactly how we together as citizens will respect and safeguard our own and one another's rights within the society we establish by our constitution.  A constitution also prevents a government that rules without the consent of the governed.

In an essay entitled, "Of Constitutions, Governments, and Charters," Paine asserted:  "<span>A constitution defines and limits the powers of the government it creates. It therefore follows, as a natural and also a logical result, that the governmental exercise of any power not authorized by the constitution is an assumed power, and therefore illegal."</span>

Leona [35]

Answer:

Honestly, this is a personal question. I can't help you fully but I can give some advice:

For example, during a sad time in your life if you had thought to yourself about the happy times/moments you had experienced with that item, person, or animal.

Hope that helps, the example is not fully accurate though.
