well i believe that many things lead to the need for a constitution but in 1776 when thomas jefferson worked on the declaration of Independence would have been the right time in government to make such things happen believe there was many things that lead us up unto this point. If the colony 'wouldn't have united i believe there was a good chance the british would have won the war of 1812 if allot of things wouldn't have happened in 1776 and so on but in the civil war i think the constitution was well into its life and hard for some peoples to grasp but it seems as even as recent as today the constitution has been withered to its frail existence and maybe im blind to some things going on in the world but it seems america needs to unite and uphold its constitution and stop giving huge bailouts and start reversing the laws and atrocity's past Representatives have left us with i know i am very bad at spelling and i may be only know allot about certain subjects but our constitution is the backbone of America and should be upheld to its fullest by all our peoples and if thomas jefferson wouldn't have had the strength to fight for what he believed in and the unity of his country then we wouldn't be here today americas should wake up and stand together and make change instead of waiting for some dull representation to find time someday to change things for us it is OUR time america has many enemy's and we should unite and rebuild our country : ) peace
