Us Constitution
The Constitution Café written by Christopher Phillips is mainly about the viewpoints of Americans around the country and what could be different about the Constitution. While the majority of Americans he met from the meetings felt like there should be a few things added to the articles of the Constitution, because things are different today than when it was first written in 1787. The book informs the readers on the basics of our rights and understanding more about the Constitution itself.
Thomas Jefferson believed that Americans should rewrite the Constitution every twenty years to meet our current needs in the generation we live in today. This is why Phillips has traveled the country asking Americans if and how they would rewrite our Constitution if given the chance. His main goal is to make the U.S. a better place and keep us all updated with the Constitution itself and hope from reading the book that we all learned something new about all the different arguments. My main understanding of Christopher Phillips experiment is that not too many people know the content of our Constitution and as a result, it is not doing an adequate job in representing our society. The purpose behind Phillips experiment is to encourage the average American to actually learn about our Constitution and show that every American should have a say in possible revisions.
I was a police officer for 12 years; I have hands on use of the Constitution and how it impacts our everyday life. The Constitution is so very important in relation to law enforcement. It provides for a system of government based upon one extraordinary principle: consent of the governed. Court interpretation is an ongoing process. One Court may rule that a police action is constitutional today. In the future another Court may affirm (uphold) the present decision, modify it, or even reverse it. This is why people refer to the Constitution as a living document which is always changing and being reevaluated.
