Make it Right

Authors Note: This piece states how the constitution should be better. We made this piece as our Patriots Pen essay. 

There was 55 people who made the constitution. 39 of those 55 signed it. But yet we have had to make many changes to the constitution. Why didn’t we get it right the first time I wonder?  With 55 of the smartest men in the country making this why would we have had to change it. Maybe because there was only strict older men. No women no young people maybe that’s why. In this piece I will tell you some of the things that America has changed to the constitution since then and what they did wrong.

133 years that was how long it took America to pass the amendment to allow women to vote and have the same rights as men. Why is this important you might wonder this is important because women are a huge part of our society. They could have made the constitution much more far if they would have included women. Maybe if women were in the constitution they would have had different perspectives.

Although having women in the constitution would have helped a lot but also to make the constitution even better they also should have made a law or amendment that says that any person that is president should add something new to the constituion because then if each president adds or edits something to the constitution it will always be up to date and updated. I know that would help a lot, because I am sure there are some crucial laws missing or left out of the constituion.

With 55 people making the constitution why couldn’t they still get it right the first time? Well some of the reasons why were because women were not in the constitution and it hasn’t been updated that much since then. Just think maybe if women were in the constitution how much better it would be and if it was updated more often.
