preamble
As a group, we are in a project together making our own ideal constitution. We have to come up with the fundamentals of our own government inside and out, backing up reasons as to why we chose a certain way to come about freedom, equality and order. This project will help us out in many ways, from understanding why the government is the way it is now. There are many ways to dissect this topic and use the information in different areas of this project. Our goal throughout this project is to convince the reader that our ideal constitution is efficient for all of the people below the government.Slide4
