Reading about the struggle of the
Constitution reminds me of the backlash that Obama is receiving due to the
events in Syria. As the President I know that Obama wants to keep peace in
other countries; he wants to make sure that if another country needs help we
could lend a helping hand, but in doing so he might displease our own country.
While watching congress and senate debate back and forth with John Kerry about
the attack on Syria, I couldn’t help but think about the tension that Obama
must have been feeling. Obama not only need to win over the approval of
congress; he must also win over the help of Russia, with support from our
Congress and from Russia, Obama would feel that the citizen’s voice is being
heard.
The writing of the Constitution
relates to the even that is going on in Congress because the founding fathers
had to make sure that each state was being represented. Everybody had to be
happy with what they come up with because the founding fathers did not want any
backlash to happen, because it could lead to another rebellion. I thought it was interesting how not
everybody came on board to ratify the states. I would assume that being free
from British rules would be motivation enough for the states to agree on the
terms of the Constitution. It really is interesting to see the Congress volley
back and forth with John Kerry because it gives me a visual idea of what went
on back when the Constitution was being written.
