    During the Constitutional Convention, James Madison and his fellow delegates were trying to write a new document known as the Constitution, which would change the way the government would run for the future years of the nation. There were fifty-five white male individuals that joined the call for a Constitutional Convention in the town of Philadelphia in May of 1787. While gathered, the members found multiple problems with their current constitution, known as the Articles of Confederation. These problems included not having a chief executive, a court system, and the central government was very weak and limited.

    Gandhi¡¦s initial thrust had been towards unifying Indian natives under this banner of non-violence in order to garner support for an ouster of the British from India and an overhaul of the Indian government structure. What this meant was that Gandhi was looking for a ¡¥fundamental change¡¦ in the structure and hierarchies of the Indian state.

If, as you assume, they (the Colonizers) retire, it seems to me we shall still keep their constitution and shall carry on the government.¡¨…

As a document that provided the laws of the land and the rights of its people. It directs its attention to the many problems in this country; it offered quite a challenge because the document lent itself to several views and interpretations, depending upon the individual reading it.

Besides the mere fact that it is, largely, an embodiment of the ideals promulgated during the enlightenment, it represents the hopes, dreams, and ideals of many people from countless generations before us. It is the culmination of decades and centuries of controversial and untested ideas and theories. It was, at its very core, a shot in the dark, a hope against all hopes.…

    In the early 1930’s, Gandhi’s movement for India's independence took a new form when he introduced the civil disobedience movement.
