The Constitution of 1791, France’s first attempt at a written constitution

On June 20th 1789 the newly formed National Assembly gathered in a Versailles tennis court and pledged not to disband until France had a working constitution. Their desire for a constitution was a product of the Enlightenment and the American Revolution. The deputies of the Third Estate believed that any reforms to the Ancien Régime must be guaranteed and underpinned by a written framework. A constitution would define the authority, structure and powers of the new government, preventing the abuses and injustices of the old order. With this in mind, the National Assembly set about drafting a national constitution almost immediately. The process was a long and difficult one, hampered by differences of opinion, growing radicalism and the events of 1789-91. Their deliberations eventually produced the Constitution of 1791, which was ratified in September that year. This document established a constitutional monarchy and incorporated several political ideas from the Enlightenment. The fate of the 1791 Constitution, however, hinged on the attitude and actions of the king.

Which statement best describes the land claims in North America prior to the French and Indian War that would eventually lead to
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

Prior to the French and Indian War, the American Colonists wanted to extend their territory to the west of the Appalachian Mountains, in what is now the Midwest.

The British Crown opposed this because they did not want to have conflicts with the Native Americans in these lands, and with the French.

In the end, the conflict became impossible to avoid, and the British won, and the land was granted to the Empire.

The beginning of the Constitution which explains its<br> purposes, starts as, "We the people...."
gayaneshka [121]

The Constitution's first three words are its most potent: we the people . They assert that the people themselves, not a king or a Congress, are the source of the Constitution's authority.

The Constitution as a whole is built on the idea of popular sovereignty, or "power to the people."

Who is meant by "we" in the Constitution's opening sentence?

"We the people of the United States created this constitution."

The first three words, though, make a crucial point. They contend that the people alone possess the authority to establish and sustain government, not a monarch or even legislators.

Americans frequently use "we the people" to demonstrate that their country is a democracy.
