Writing+The+Rules+steveog11


 * UNDER CONSTRUCTION*

Did you know that when we were writing the rules for our new planet, we noticed how similar it was to the process that the people went through to write the Constitution. The location of the delegates while they were writing the Constitution was similar to us. The delegates were selected by the states, unlike us because we just worked with the people we landed on the planet with. We also noticed how similar and different the actual rules of our new planet were from the rules of the Constitution. Both are free to practice any religion they like, and both have fair punishments.

While researching about the Constitution, I found a similarity between us and the delegates. All of the Delegates were called together at the same time for writing the Constitution. They did this mostly because weather was bad and travel was hard. We were all together while we wrote the rules for our new planet. We did this because we needed to debate on the best rules to put in our form of the Constitution. I think this similarity was present because you can't make rules without debate, and you can't have debate without a sufficient amount of people, so we both added people in.

I also found a main difference of both us and the Constitution while researching. The delegates that wrote the Constitution were wise, experienced men picked from each of the 13 states. Each state pick a couple of delegates to represent their state in the Constitution. When we landed on the planet, we had to work with the people we had. We had to do this because we were stuck there and that was all of us and there was nobody else to help. I think this difference occurred because when they wrote the Constitution they wanted the best of the best, so they used their best people to come up with the rules. We did not have a choice on the people we used to write the rules.

There is another similarity for the Constitution, but this time for the rules itself. The 1st amendment protects one to practice any religion you choose to. They did this because they know people will rebel if everybody has to be Roman Catholic or Jewish. We also made a rule to protect people from being forced to practice a certain religion. We did this because we also thought people would rebel against this rule if we didn't make it. I think that this similarity appeared because you will always need to compromise with somebody to make things fair, and here we compromised with the fellow citizens of our planet.

The last similarity that I found was the rule about war. The 8th amendment guarantees that punishments will not be cruel, they will be fair. They made this rule because if they didn't, some kids might get hanged for doing something that isn't even that bad. We also made a rule which guarantees that punishments have to be reasonable to the crime. Again, if this rule was not made, people will get hanged for little crimes. This similarity showed up because there needs to be a rule controlling the punishments for small crimes and big crimes, which both us and the Founding Fathers noticed.

As you can see, there are a lot of differences and a lot of similarities from the location of the delegates while writing the rules, to the delegates who were selected by the states. Also the opportunity to practice any religion you want and fair punishments for crimes. The Constitution is not only rules, but rules for the new country they called America.

While I was researching the Constitution and how it was written, I found out that writing the rules for our group were very simliar, but also very different. When
