The 1990s marked a period of introspection for America, as the end of the Cold War shifted the national narrative from global conflicts to domestic issues. Economic prosperity and a booming technology sector led to increased attention on social concerns like inequality, healthcare, and education reform. Additionally, events such as the 1992 Los Angeles riots and the rise of the "culture wars" highlighted domestic tensions, prompting a reevaluation of national identity and values. As a result, the decade became characterized by a focus on resolving internal challenges rather than external threats.

Why did the drafters of the constitution feel a need for a stronger government?

Most basically, the confederated American states each printed their own money which led to economic problems, and enforced their own laws with no arbitror which led to legal problems. There may have other factors including the need for a president to represent the entire country in both state and domestic matters, a permanent congress in session annually, a standing navy and army, and other federal departments as the new country emerged on the world scene. As an experiment in representative government, some centralization of power was probably seen as unavoidable if this new country was to survive against itself, and hold its own with other nations.

How did the writing of the Constitution help the people of America?

While the Constitution of the United States of America acknowledges that all people are endowed with certain inalienable rights, the document itself serves to establish a government for the United States of America, which is only a portion of America and represents only a percentage of the people in America. Given that America includes North America which is comprised of three different countries, all of which have their own constitutions, and then there is South America which is comprised of several more countries that also have their own constitution and in between North and South America there is Central America which is also comprised of several different countries all of which have their own constitutions. If the constitution has helped any person in "America", it has helped those individuals who have used that legal document as a point of law when helping themselves to live free and be happy.
