Independence hall is where the United States Declaration of Independence and the United States Constitution were both signed by the Founding Fathers.
There’s been much debate about the U.S Constitution lately, one topic people on both sides of the political isle have brought up is whether or not the Constitution is worth preserving.
Leftists have made it clear that they view the Constitution as a living, breathing document that must change as time goes on. In its current iteration, sadly, progressivism has deemed the document racist, written explicitly for white men, and claim that it must be expunged for a new, woke, post-1960’s America, with a rewritten constitution tailored explicitly for their protected classes. The right, conversely, generally views the document as a safeguard for liberty which protects individuals against government overreach.
Recent developments, though, do bring into question the right’s commitment to stay the course in regard to preserving the Constitution. The left has continued to bend the bindings or ignore it altogether to justify speech suppression, push pro-crime policies, unlimited immigration, and weaponize the DOJ to target and arrest opposition. It begs the question: where does that leave the conservatives moving forward?
Despite noble intentions and a groundbreaking framework, the Constitution has failed to preserve all of the liberties that the Founders envisioned. With the wealth of knowledge the men who formed our country possessed, it was understandably not within their ability to perceive how technology would enable the federal government to form a fourth branch, the unelected bureaucratic state, dubbed “permanent Washington.” More restraints on federal power is clearly needed to constrain the actions of power-hungry authoritarians, because the left views the Constitution itself as a suggestion, rather than the law of the land.
