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>

2. What was an effect of the building of the Berlin Wall? (1 point)
MariettaO [177]
2. The correct answer is C. "East Berliners could no longer visit West Berliners."

The Berlin Wall split up Berlin into two distinct parts with two very different societies. East Berlin became controlled by the Soviet Union while West Berlin was controlled by the US and other members of the allied forces from World War II. Citizens were not allowed to access the other side. This split up families, caused people to lose their jobs, and resulted in violence/death (as many tried to escape to West Berlin but were killed by armed guards).

3. The correct answer is B. "He did not want to lose the support of Southern Democrats."

Kennedy feared that losing this huge block of voters would make it more difficult to pass laws in Congress and would make re-election efforts much more difficult as well.

4. The answer is B. "sex."

Kennedy signed this law into place in 1963 as part of his "New Frontier" policy. This was aimed at closing the gap between the wages of men and women in the United States.
