The structure of the government is also referred to as the Articles of the Constitution. This part of the Constitution takes up the most writing, and rightfully so. This is the most important part of the government, and it is what holds everything together. The Articles of the Constitution is another thing that was largely influenced by the events leading up to the Declaration of Independence.
One Example of the Articles of the Constitution being influenced by events leading up to the Declaration of Independence is Amendment 4. This paragraph states that people can’t search your house without a warning. Great Britain didn’t give them this right. In fact, the British parliament passed a law that not only allowed the soldiers to search their houses, but the colonists also had to feed, and supply rooms, and beds for them through the quartering act. This shows why they included Amendment 4.
Amendment 6 states that everyone gets a speedy and public trial. Before the Declaration of Independence, Trials happened in Great Britain, where they would be hard to find, and where British soldiers had immunity amongst the judges. Since the colonists never really had a fair trial for anything they did, they included Amendment 6 to make sure the people of America guaranteed fair trials.
The Articles of the Constitution responds to the wants and the needs of the American people by telling the people their rights that the government will never break. The American people can always feel safe knowing that they have these 27 unbreakable rights.
