The Constitution

The government has three arms, and the most powerful is the Congress. The congress is tasked with making laws that guide the countries internal and foreign policies. The Congress makes laws that offer checks and balances for other arms of government. Further, it guides how to pursue foreign spending and declares on war issues. The antifederalist was keen to highlight the need for a bill of rights to afford the liberty for all citizens. The constitution is a living document since it guides the three arms of the government and in the event, achieve a level playing ground that ensures the country moves towards the same direction.

The Congress is the strongest arm of the government since it defines the laws that govern the country. The judiciary relies on the laws that the Congress has put forth to come up with decisions. The executive has to seek Congress input for any internal or external policy they wish to take action. Therefore, the Congress sets the theme and determines what is good for the country at any one given point. The approach takes shape through introducing new clauses, changing the existing ones by adding or removing some parts.

The antifederalist realized the need to come up with a constitutional amendment that would afford every citizen liberty regardless of their color, creed or race. The constitution bears laws that every individual must abide with and upon which any kind of violations would seek reference to afford corrections. Therefore, the antifederalist sought to have the Bill of rights captured in the constitution to ensure abiding conclusion to the issue. Lack of such inclusion in the constitution would mean the Bill of rights would not have been secure and as such, any change in political administration would propose its way concerning the issue. However, the constitution would protect such eventualities and ensure consistency regardless of who is at the helm of power.

The constitution is a living document in the sense that it breathes life to all issues that matter to the country. It is the only document that makes the country read from the same script. The nation is composed of different factions with different ideologies. Such ideologies may lead to differences that may risk the countries cohesion, and as such, constitution comes in handy to provide a balance. In any case, the constitution provides a level playing ground for all the parties in the country and allows everyone to work towards the American dream (The University of Tenessee). Therefore, the constitution is the only document that allows the three arms of government to work together and gives every citizen an opportunity to exercise their freedom and give them a sense of identity.

In conclusion, the Congress is the strongest arm of the government that ensures laws that matter to the country comes to play. The people voice takes shape through the Congress as its members represent the interests of its constituents. Each member of the Congress has to ensure the people who elected him to the house comes first, or else they will not be re-elected. The constitution as the only document that guides the country in the best direction to afford unity was the only place the antifederalist would ensure security for Bill of Rights. Therefore, it follows that the constitution is a living document since it ensures all arms of the government work together to afford every citizen a lease of life. The cohesion of the nation is dependent on the constitution.
