The US constitution.

The US constitution is one of the most influential legal documents in existence. The constitution was written to organize a strong national government for the American states. The writers if the US constitution got some of there ideas from other people for example George Washington and Benjamin Franklin. 39 delegates signed the US Constitution out of 55  delegates. The constitution is organized into three parts, Preamble, Articles, and Amendments. The six basic Principles were Popular sovereignty, limited government, Judicial review, Federalism, Separation of powers, and checks and balances. One of the biggest reasons a lot of people opposed the original Constitution was because it lacked the Bill of rights. The original Constitution had no bill of rights. I liked how this group presented after they were done with the powerpoint they showed us a brain pop clip then they gave us a worksheet. I liked their presentation.
