Different people are at different places in life. If you were already a white land owning man before voting rights were expanded, you gained nothing. In fact, since there were more people your votes then counted as a smaller portion of the overall.

Revolutionary change mostly impacts people who led the revolution, which the the case of the American revolution was white men. People leading the revolution are most likely to from a new government once the revolution is over so they would give themselves the power and create government based off of their ideals.

The most fundamental element of a consitutitional democracy is a constitution that establishes what a government can and cannot do as well as what the people can and cannot do. Furthermore voting rights are a big part, as mostly universal voting rights are required for a constitutional democracy.

in a constitutional democracy, some fundamental elements would be that the government is run by the people and checks and balances to keep people in power in check.

everyone should have an equal voice in the society and everyone should have equal rights

# data[].attributes.body
I believe the constitution did create a free and democratic society because in writting it showed that they wanted everyone to have the same level and no one person was more powerful than the other. However putting those things into effect they were very hypocritical because enslaved people were not given rights and also the 3/5th compromise and women were still not allowed to have much say

The Constitution made the U.S. more free for privileged people because they got to vote and live in a democracy, but unprivileged people like slaves were not free or involved in democracy in any way.

# data[].attributes.body
Slavery continued after the forming of the constitution, so it did not create a free society at all. It did give a more democratic society with scheduled elections for the people to have a voice.

Revolutionary change does not always apply to everyone and some may be left out of it. For example, the natural rights of early America did not apply to slaves and women couldn't vote.

It allowed for natural human rights, created a system of checks and balances for the government, and changed the government away from monarchy.

The US founding was largely a lie because not all men were treated equally. Many differences were still present in the social and economic hierarchy depended on ones race/gender.

While more people got the right to vote, not everyone could. Additionally, slaves were not mentioned in the constitution in order to avoid accusations of hypocrisy. Despite these inequalities, the Constitution did do a good job of distancing the U.S. from the British, which is what the founders set out to do.

Do historians have an ethical obligation not to ignore contradictory evidence?

I disagree with this notion,  If a single story is to be told it is important to list the importance and significance of that specific event. Although one might have a better understanding of the topic or issue as a whole it should be up to the historian to include this. Such as with the constitution one historian may detail it as an account of patriotism and justice but another historian might give an account of the slavery that persisted after the declaration of independence and even after the war, both are true but tell a different story but together give better context and full picture but I believe it should be up to the historian to choose if he or she wants to write in this way.

I do believe truth is the goal of all historical inquiry because as a historian you are trying to find the objective story through the lenses of different perspectives throughout time. For example, We can see through the legislation of the British parliament as well as the push back of the colonists towards it that it was one of the many reasons why the Colonists rebelled.

Revolutionary change in human societies affects people differently because the change that is happening, will have a different effect on people according to their socioeconomic status. Everyone in a society is a puzzle piece for the entire nation they’re part of, for example when the United States Supreme Court overturned Roe V Wade it affected people differently. Abortion clinics and doctors were put out of work in some states, putting them in financial troubles. While others, like conservatives celebrated a victory, pushing them to campaign their conservative ideas further. Following the American Revolution, American society was transformed into a land for the free and for all, and while the majority of Americans benefited without taxation and oppression, enslaved people faced a much different fate, as the slave trade was no longer a British run and put into the hands of the Americans, boosting the amount of slaves being produced

# data[].attributes.body
The US constitution's foundation was based on both an ideal and a lie ot a large extent as for example, people were meant to be treated equally (we the people) under the law; Government was not allowed to be discriminatory. However the lie comes in when slavery was still a thing and remained largely unchanged, limiting a large amount of peoples’ freedom. Furthermore, mostly still only rich white men were the ones having a say in government, not the everyday person. Voting rights were hardly expanded.

Historians use a variety of work to gain knowledge. They commit to their job by conversating about their thoughts, the stories they have heard, and the famous eras of time. They also read books and articles to add to their knowledge, making it more in-depth and complex.

I think it initially created a very limited democracy but the founders visions and ideas for the future made what is today a strong (If struggling) democracy.

At the time, the Us constitution didn't create a free and democratic society for everyone because we still had slavery, voting rights were minimal, and the only people allowed to make new rules were the upper class.

4. It is absolutely inevitable historians will be affected by their cultural context. Even if they are not actively trying to, we are constantly affected by factors that have been ingrained in our minds over time. For example, the way we interpret the constitution nowadays is very different than it may have been perceived when it was created. Today, it is easy to show that by many measures the constitution was quite conservative and did not create equality, however on the other hand, viewing it from a lens of the time, it guaranteed voting rights and freedoms that were afforded to few people in the world.
7. It is to some degree unfair to judge them by today's standards due to the fact that many of our ideas would have been considered far too blasphemous for people even to say out loud in historical times. The ideas we have today, such as equal rights for absolutely everyone, would not even have been taken into consideration in the past. These ideas actually require time and gradual change for the public to accept them. Radical change is extremely difficult.

Revolutionary changes in human societies affect everyone differently because of all the different groups involved. There are the people who are directly involved in the revolution, the people who are affected by it who weren't part of it, and the people later in history who were affected by it who weren't even around during the time of the revolution.

In history, different perspectives are told, and depending on which perspective you hear do you perceive the situation a certain way. In many moments in history, there are no clear instigators and victims. The American Revolution is a perfect example, there are arguments that each side instigated the revolution. What really matters at the end of the day is the effects of the instigation in general, not who was a victim. American patriotism steemed from their victimization, they put themselves into the position of a victim to exaggerate the effects of the revolution

The most fundamental element of a constitutional democracy is the right of all citizens to vote on who they want to be their leader; this is what a democracy is, and without it, a democracy is no more. Some of the other important elements of a constitutional democracy include a system of checks and balances, to prevent corruption, and a method that ensures that one person does not gain too much power within the government. The other fundamental elements of a constitutional democracy include the right to assembly, freedom of speech, freedom of press, freedom of religion and other unalienable rights as described by John Locke.

The U.S.' founding was based on both an ideal and a lie because the ideal of freedom was very present and held dear, but it was not a right given to many people after the founding.

8, I believe titles like hero and atrocity should overall be avoided, with people like the framers of our constitution and articles of confederation who created the ideals of our independence, were still slave owners. They didn’t believe in freedom for everyone. I also believe that historians should try to leave out their biases and opinions as they are supposed to provide relevant information.

The Constitution created a free and democratic society to a low extent as rich white men were the only ones really included in the government.

The U.S. Constitution created a free and democratic society to some extent because it gave more rights to a lot of people, freedoms and a voice, elections, but it didn't mention slavery specifically and didn't focus on that aspect, didn't give other people rights such as voting rights black people were still enslaved and women were restricted on their voting.

# data[].attributes.body
I would say it is fair to judge people and actions in the past by the standards of today because historical figures were frequently aware of their actions. For example, if the Founding Fathers truly believed that slavery was just and would never end, they would have openly said it was morally good in the Constitution.

yes terms like that should be avoided because it gives off a bias in the writing and a historian doesn't need bias when writing a paper for example, historians want to avoid the usage of a bias in their writing and go straight to the facts. -ayla

The fundamental elements of a constitutional democracy are natural rights, and the right to participate in government.

# data[].attributes.body
The US Constitution was able to create a proper balance between order and liberty, such as how the national government would not be the sole source of power (like Britain's monarchal rule) while guaranteeing the natural rights of citizens. However, it still ensured the exclusion of certain groups of people so it wasn't entirely "free" nor "democratic".

the original US constitution did not create a free and democratic society at all because people didn't have equal rights. for example slavery wasn't mentioned at all and it was still going on. Also, the 3/5ths compromise was unfair towards African Americans because they were seen as 3/5ths of a white person to benefit mostly the southern states.

Truth is the goal of all historical inquiry because historians try to unveil the truth so that the world can be taught of events in the past and learn from them. If the event is negative and has many bad consequences, we can learn from the mistakes of people in the past who made that mistake for us and make sure that it never happens again. If there were positive outcomes from the decision/event in history, then we can learn from that as well and use it for other means and gain positive results from repeating that in a similar or exact fashion. For example, historians teach us the whole truth about slavery and now the entire world knows that slavery was a bad thing and to never repeat it because it was horrible for those who endured it and were the victims of it. Historians recognize this and that is why unveiling the truth is the goal of all historical inquiry, to teach others what and what not to do/repeat.

Considering the time period at which the U.S. Constitution was drafted, it most definitely created a free and democratic society, because the colonies were used to being in a monarchy, which means they were used to having no say in their government or any personal rights, both things that U.S. Constitution ensures. Today, it is evident that the U.S. Constitution created a free and democratic society because the United States is one of the most “free” countries in the world, with one of the lowest human rights violations in the world; also to note, many nations have copied our Constitution because of how effective and flawless it is. Regarding the democratic aspect that the U.S. Constitution deals with, there is very little to no voter fraud going on today, as well as systems such as the electoral college ensuring people’s voices all have the same weight when voting, furthermore ensuring voter equality.

7. I think it is unfair for people to judge events of the past by standards of today in many ways because there are things we consider acceptable today that were not considered acceptable back then and vice versa but we can still judge them on a lot of morals because those really have been the same for most if not all of human history.
