Over the past few days I have looked over the constitution. I looked over the actual writing of the constitution, such as how the writers of the constitution wanted to make sure that all people would be free. I also found out about some new laws in the Constitution. Then I realized, this is a lot like the rules I made for my new society in class. Of course, Mr. Bogush then made it an assignment to compare these two rule-declarers, so now I can compare what I wrote to what my founding fathers wrote that I live by today.

I first noticed the similarity between what America's government wanted for their people, and what I wanted for my community. The writers had wanted freedom. Not just Freedom of speech and religion, but to be independent from an unfair government. My community had wanted to also have freedom. We wanted to base our government on our old planets, but to tweak it a little, but they were supposed to be essentially the same. Our governments both wanted freedom, and recieved it.

I also read about what the government was going to be like. Our founding fathers said their government would be of a "special-kind". They ment that their government would not deny the wishes of the people, and that the government must be stronger than the Constitution of the Confederacy, their past one. We had wanted a fair and tight-nit government also. We had wanted all complaints and crimes to be addressed as soon as possible. Our community would have prospered as our nation has.

Our community was as free as our country is. In the First Amendment, it states all people have the right to their own religion. They are allowed to practice, believe, or deny any faith. We agreed and said all people in our community may do the same. They will not be ridiculed or discriminated in any way for religion, or legal actions may take place. Freedom, is a main theme in both societies.

Punishments can be harsh, nonexsistant, or in that sweet zone or in the middle. America voted for the sweet zone. Amendment eight, all punishments will be fair,and uneccisarily large fines. We decided on an eye for an eye based justice system. This means that if you kill someone, you are killed. On a lesser crime, a judge decides appropriate punishments, which are influenced by the victim of the crime. We may have slightly different views of a "fair" punishment, but we essentially are the same.

The writers of the Constitution and its laws are a lot like my new civilazations rules. We both wanted indeppendence for our people. We wanted there to be freedom of religion. We wanted fair punishments. And we wanted a strong government. We don't have very different nations.
