Recently i have landed on a undiscovered planet with some of my classmates. Once we landed we had to make up some laws so we'd have a civilized land. I'm also learning about the constitution in class so i decided to compare my laws and the process it took to make them with the constitution and their process.

the constitution was made in 4 months which is a really short for writting laws for a whole country just like having 3 days was a short time to write rules for our civilization. my group made 18 rules for our civilization under the catagories of justice, peace, welfare, defence, freedom, and future. Each catagory had 3 rules.

the great comprimise took place during the writing of the constitution which stated how many representitives each state would have. The larger states wanted the number of reps. to depend on the amount of people in the state and the smaller states wanted the amount of reps. to all be the same amount for each state. Roger Sherman, from Connecticut proposed the great comprimise which stated that each state would have a senate that had the same amount of people and then how ever many groups of 30,000 people would depend on how many reps. they would have. My group had to make many comprimises on picking what person's laws we would use from prior assignments and there was some argueing on what laws we could use, but we ended up agreeing as a group on what laws we'd use.

The constitution had over 9,000 idea proposed since 1787, but only 27 we're used. My group had 72 rules to choose from and we could only choose 18.

The constitution stated that a leader had to be voted on which is exactly what we did with our planet.

The amendment was sexist towards women until 1920, they weren't allowed to vote and do alot of other things men could do. This differs severly from the rules my group made. The laws my group came up with allow everyone to have the same rights as the people around them.

The constitution had reps. for each state, but on the planet i landed on each person can be as independent as they want from anyone else on the planet and no one is at a higher level than anyone else.
