Before our founding fathers declared indipendence, acts, such-as the stamp act, the tea act, the intolorable acts ect., made the some of the colonist very upset, including the founding fathers. These acts are what caused the Revolutionary War. When the Revolutionary War was over, (which the U.S. obviously won) the colonies (now states actualy) became disorganized, nearly on the verge of anarchy. The Continintal Congress decided that a document was needed to unite the states more solidly. So they started writing the Constitution. When they wrote the Constitution, they did not want to be like England and make the same mistakes. So they looked at all the acts that started this whole thing and based a large portion on rights on not allowing anthing remotely resem-bling the acts. So in nutshell, the Constitution was written the way it was because the United States did not want to be like England. There is more to it, but that would take an entire text-book to fit al the information in.
