| Politics: Left, Right, and Center National, state, regional, and local politics. Who's doing what to whom, and what you can do about it. How-to-get-action messages are encouraged. "How the government fucked up my life" stories are encouraged. Sharing new methods for cheating on taxes is encouraged. Sample "letters to congresscritters" are encouraged. Apathy and "I can't do anything" posts are discouraged. Left, right, centrist, or any other form of political-economic systems are all up for discussion. Be prepared to defend yourself, or at least have a good line of bullshit ready. Extensive quoting of economists and philosophers is frowned upon. We want to hear what YOU have to say, not what some constipated, impotent, dead guy dreamt up while suffering from the DT's over a hundred years ago thought. |

 Importance of the constitution
assume you were a plantation owner, or a industrial worker (north or south)
what part of the constitution (everything up to the 11th amendment was written at that time) would you consider most important.
i would say the 4th ammendment, the full faith and credit clause,
ammendments 5,6,7 make vigilante courts illegal, much to the north's happyness
article 1, section 9, no kingship or other title shall be awarded
art 3 sec 2 trial shall be held in the state where the said crimes shall have been committed
any thoughts from the political masterminds out there?

Re: Importance of the constitution
The fourth ammendment is the one that prevents search and seaizure without due cause, how is that the full faith and credit clause?

Re: Importance of the constitution
...there are too many laws...
the consitution truly is...its something to point at when you want to think you have freedom
burning your flag is legal under the constitution
yet if some jackass fire official, or cop, decides to tell you it falls under negligent use of fire (its illegal now) or disorderly conduct, saying y ou were attempting provactation
etc
the constitution is broken

Re: Importance of the constitution
schwabe, thats all good and well, but wouldn't that statement go some place where it was warranted?
my question was, if you were a citizen (either north or south, try and get in the mindset.) what part of the constitution would you consider most important.
its not hard to answer.
obscurities are not needed. the question didn't state, which part of the constitution, IF ANY...
and by the way, back then we only had up to the 11th ammendment, so you should be able to answer this one judging by your last statement.
