The Declaration of Independence was a unique document because it created a stimulating statement of universal human rights. It was the first document that stated, "All men are created equal." It defined the reason and the purpose for the government, it was meant to be the protector of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. United States was the first country to be founded on the three principles of universal equality, natural rights, and self-government, and it base its institutions and efforts for reform upon these principles.
From its creation, the U.S. Constitution was a controversial document, praised as
a solution to the nation's woes and condemned as a perversion of its republican
principles. Critics charged that republican institutions worked only in small political
units - the states. Advocates answered that the Constitution extended republicanism
by adding another level of government elected by the people. In this composite
political system, the new national government would exercise limited, delegated
powers, and the existing state governments would retain authority over all other
matters.
The Constitution empowered the people and limited the powers of the government.
To breifly state the purpose to which the document is being written in the Constitution.
To briefly state the purpose to which the document is being written.
A constitution is, generally, a written document that outlines the most-basic decisions a people have made about how they should be governed. Sometimes, as in Great Britian, the constitution is not a single, written document, but instead a series of laws and traditions that are accepted as being the basis of the government. Government is the collection of institutions that act out the decisions of the people. A constitution describes a government. A government implements a constitution.
It was not the first document written in America. The US did not come into being until the document was signed and ratified so in this sense it became the first document in the USA
its still being used and interpreted
The Constitution of the United States is considered a living constitution because it can be ammended by the Supreme Court and so while it was written a long time ago it is still being changed to this day. So, because the original document is not "written in stone" and can be altered it is considered to be a "living" constitution. If this is a homework question, next time use the index or table of contents if you are unwilling to do a bit of proper reading or research, it will only take about a minute to find the answers.
It seems like you might be referring to a discussion about a document. Without more specific information, it is difficult to determine which document was being written. Can you provide more context or details?
