Current politicians should be required to review this annually so that eventually it will be understood by them.

[@JeffJustice1]

All citizens should be required to review this annually. And we should be better at understanding the constitution than we are at understanding service agreements.

Can we get a president to watch these videos?

[@ChristaFree]

Or any politician? State or federal level. That would be great.

Here's a little tip if your also using Kahn academy to study for the GED and due to being of out of school for a while you get over whelmed by your inability of comprehend while note taking. 1. If your on the Kanh academy site (highly recommend its entirely free and you dont have to make an account to test yourself or get feedback) read the transcript of the video. I find reading and being able to go back to what was said by skimming a few lines instead of skipping back and hearing (and forgetting ) the same clip over and over again to be tedious. SO seeing it all written out in front of me really helps. 2. If your watching the videos here on youtube some of them are thankfully split into chapters. Watch on chapter without writing anything down and really try to take in the cause and effect of what's going on in the social studies lesson. Then write a summary (using the notes on the screen to remember while your stuck.)

It was originally "Some of us guys", but John Adams suggested they change it to the more appropriate "We the people".

Is it "insure" domestic tranquility? Is that a spelling that changed over time or were they giving insurance on domestic tranquility? Or did they want to ensure it?

[@Knaeben]

Spellings change over time.

[@lewis7865]

So why did they say people are given rights and justice when native Americans had their land stolen and women were still seen as second to men?

[@jasonmackenzie1844]

It probably had something to do with English common law and women and natives not being regarded as legal persons but as wards of their male guardians/the state, respectively, but I'm no expert.

[@mgreco712]

The Constitution was really far ahead of its time. There were still social structures that lagged behind its goals, as such women, Natives, and Africans' rights were not always protected as they should have been. Fortunately, as society progressed toward the goals of the Constitution, such things changed.
