A story about a fat man and the country he created

The Ratification of the Constitution was a very difficult task. It is very similar to how some people eat a Jelly Filled Doughnut, some are messy while some can eat it unscathed.
Many states had issues with ratifying the constitution, but in others there was an unanimous vote. In Delaware there was a 30 - 0 vote for ratifying the constitution and there were the first to do it. While Pennsylvania was right on its heels becoming the second to ratify the constitution. States actually started to ratify it 10 months after it was presented. In Massachusetts debates were conducted as well in many other of the remaining states. Major debates were conducted in Virginia and New York. If the federalists failed in convincing the other politicians to ratify the new union would have lost major key states and would have gravely affected this process. What got the rest of the states was a Bill of Rights. Once proposed many states agreed to ratify. The last state to ratify was Rhode Island and they only decided to do it because they felt threatened by a new foreign government. The Federalists had a hard job convincing the states to accept the constitution. They had to convince everyone that without this constitution there would be "anarchy and civil strife". When Antifederalists popped up criticizing the constitution people like Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay wrote 85 essays explaining the constitution and quelling the fires spread by the Antifederalists.

The Articles of Confederation were as successful as the Vietnam war. There were some good ideas in the articles but the few articles that proved to be helpful were shrouded by the problems of the not so likely articles. There were ones that would help strengthen government while there were ones that made no sense to have to begin with. Some of the Articles led to confusion and mislead people. For example would you want a national document to read in it that all the states of America were bonded in "friendship." No I thought not. Instead people would ask for something more along the lines of establishing equality or fairness.
In article four, "the better to secure and perpetuate mutual friendship and intercourse among the people of the different States in this union." What that basically means is that people should not look as each other as enemy's in stead they should veiw each other as equals. In article the first articale it talks about "The Stile of this confederacy shall be 'The United States of America" which defines the paper. These articals are helpful in their own way but also do not need to be there in the Articals of confederation these facts about this country are mentioned across many other documents and is pointless to yet again to resay what has already been mentiones

The way of life
Anarchy. That is what the world would become. The entirety of the world and all the ideals and structures that are here today would crumble and be in disarray. All animals follow simple regiments and primal instincts to make their decisions. Gorillas form groups and the strongest leads and protects the others. Meer cats have watch outs and take turns watching their home so predators to not kill them. Animals follow their instincts to survive and us humans are no exception. The only difference between animals and humans is the human minds vast intellect and how we can approach more aspects in life using different forms of Science and
Mathematics.
Government is very important in order for any species to thrive in the bewildering outdoors. Systems of government only exists to create an uniformity in which humans can move about their lives without the constant threat of other humans and animals. All animals use basic forms of government to survive and thrive as species. Without these systems in place people would ravage and commit crimes that would have once been placed and been looked upon as wrong by society. People would crimes and act as the people in the movie, "The Purge." In the movie there is a day where all crime is revoked and anything can happen. That is to reduce crime during all the rest of the days in the year. A life without government would be a very harsh one at that and it would be filled with many hard times and hurdles to cross. The book, "The Lord of the Flies," describes what happens when a group of kids are stranded on an island how they survive. The eventually form a system of government in order to survive. Many of the kids had died but they had to struggle as a group and figure out a way to move on survive on that island.
It is in human nature to have someone to rule over another telling them what they can and cannot do. Most people cannot think for themselves and that is why there are monarchs and presidents to determine what is best for the people of their governing land.
