"The Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people, it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government - lest it come to dominate our lives and interests."
—Patrick Henry

1.From what you know about the Constitution, do you agree with Patrick Henry's statement? Why or why not?
2.Patrick Henry was a leader of the Anti-Federalists. How does this quote support their position on the Constitution?
3.How does Henry's statement reflect the idea of social contract? How does the idea of social contract protect people's natural and individual rights?

Respuesta :

1. Yes i do, cause the government can easily power over the people but as soons as they do that the people will then take back the government there fore the constitution is not used by the government to control us cause if they did we could easily over turn them
2. there take of the constitution under my understanding is that if the government does something that makes the people unhappy they can look back at the constitution and say you are braking this law and now you are being over turned.
3.the social contract says that it obtains to everyone not just the people that arent in some type of government or the richest person ever it obtains to everyone. so his statment reflect cause hes saying that if the government tries to say something to use we can something back and say the constitution says we are allowed to do that or we arent. for example the right to carry a weapon we are but its not because of we like to hunt or go target shooting no its because if the government turns on us we can protect our selfs.

-Hope this helped
