Question

QUESTION 12

Answer 1

Answer:

"The Framers of the American Constitution were all visionaries. They designed our Constitution to endure. They sought not only to address the specific challenges facing the nation during their life, but to establish the foundational principles that would sustain and guide the new nation into an uncertain future.   The text of the Constitution reflects this vision. It defines our most fundamental freedoms in general terms: “freedom of speech,” “due process of law,” “free exercise” of religion, “equal protection of the laws,” “cruel and unusual punishment.” The Constitution sets forth governmental powers in similarly general terms: Congress may regulate “commerce… among the several states,” the president will “take care that the laws be faithfully executed,” the courts are authorized to decide “cases” and “controversies"( GEOFFREY, MARSHALL, 2011). ”
