To receive FULL credit you MUST respond to TWO of your classmates, one who agrees with you and one who disagrees with you en-us 2020-11-23 14:17:56 UTC 2020-12-12 01:27:21 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/spappas2/3cwu4zhdx28s7yvy/wish/980790923 Yes, the constitution is still relevant today. For example, the forth amendment is still relevant as police or other people can not search your home without a warrants. We also have a freedom of speech and No citizens are punished for their crime without any evidence. This is the reason I say all the amendments are still relevant today.]]> 2020-12-02 17:31:12 UTC https://padlet.com/spappas2/3cwu4zhdx28s7yvy/wish/980790923 https://padlet.com/spappas2/3cwu4zhdx28s7yvy/wish/980856023 I believe that the Constitution is still relevant because a lot of amendments are still used till this day. For example amendment 4 is still relevant because officials still cannot search your house without a warrant. Another example is the 5th amendment is still used because law officials always say "you have the right to remain silent. anything you say can and will be used against you." This is where someone would hire a lawyer to represent them at court.]]> 2020-12-02 17:44:15 UTC https://padlet.com/spappas2/3cwu4zhdx28s7yvy/wish/980856023 https://padlet.com/spappas2/3cwu4zhdx28s7yvy/wish/980856027 I do believe the constitution is still relevant today because many aspects of it are still used today, like the 1st amendment the right to religion and expression, that is true in the US still, also the right to bear arm, and many other so yes the constitution is still used and relevant today     ]]> 2020-12-02 17:44:15 UTC https://padlet.com/spappas2/3cwu4zhdx28s7yvy/wish/980856027 https://padlet.com/spappas2/3cwu4zhdx28s7yvy/wish/980888662 The constitution is very crucial to our society as it ensures right and justice. The Bill of rights demonstrates basic rights for the people, the accused, the jury etc. Amendment 8 demonstrate that unjustified punishments and cruel penalties are no longer applicable to an offender. Moreover, Amendment 9 specified that people still have many other right but it does not need to be in the constitution. This was safety for the people if they were accused of something that was no wrong.]]> 2020-12-02 17:50:56 UTC https://padlet.com/spappas2/3cwu4zhdx28s7yvy/wish/980888662 https://padlet.com/spappas2/3cwu4zhdx28s7yvy/wish/980916252 2020-12-02 17:56:27 UTC https://padlet.com/spappas2/3cwu4zhdx28s7yvy/wish/980916252 https://padlet.com/spappas2/3cwu4zhdx28s7yvy/wish/980923827 I completely believe the constitution is still relevant because nowadays many people in different communities do not get the same protection of their rights as others. The constitution does not need to be fixed I think the people who work for the government should start to follow what they preach. In other words the government needs to start applying the constitution to the problems we are facing. For an example the protests during the summer completely got out of control.The president told the military and the police to fire rubber bullets and tear gas at peaceful protesters. If I am not mistaken we have the right to peacefully protest against the government to seek a change but yet peacefully protesting seems like a threat to the government. This also reminds me of the Breanna Taylor case where they charged in her house while she was sleeping and killed her. I thought the police was supposed to knock on your door and say they have a warrant especially at like 12am. Anyway, my point is the constitution is relevant especially when you need it the most.]]> 2020-12-02 17:57:58 UTC https://padlet.com/spappas2/3cwu4zhdx28s7yvy/wish/980923827 https://padlet.com/spappas2/3cwu4zhdx28s7yvy/wish/980944073 The Constitution is definitely still relevant in today's time, but in a very twisted and manipulated way. For example, the fifth amendment, it says we can't be charged with a crime unless evidence is presented, but for some African American males it is quite the opposite, They are guilty until proven innocent. In some case police would beat the males to confess to things that they didn't even do. They would even go as low as planting evidence on the person.]]> 2020-12-02 18:02:10 UTC https://padlet.com/spappas2/3cwu4zhdx28s7yvy/wish/980944073 https://padlet.com/spappas2/3cwu4zhdx28s7yvy/wish/980953017 I believe that the Constitution is still relevant today.]]> 2020-12-02 18:03:57 UTC https://padlet.com/spappas2/3cwu4zhdx28s7yvy/wish/980953017 https://padlet.com/spappas2/3cwu4zhdx28s7yvy/wish/980975078 the constitution is still somewhat relevant today. For example in the constitution has a saying "establish justice" which technically means a fair legal system. I personally think in the united states there's no fairlegal system. Especially for poor communites, and community of color.]]> 2020-12-02 18:08:19 UTC https://padlet.com/spappas2/3cwu4zhdx28s7yvy/wish/980975078 https://padlet.com/spappas2/3cwu4zhdx28s7yvy/wish/980991032 I believe the constitution is still relevant till this day because most of the amendments are being used in our daily lives. For example recently there has been protests for the black lives matter movement and nothing could be done to stop the protests because that is part of the 1st amendment. Another amendment that is still being used till this day is the 5th amendment, many people when they get arrested the first thing that is said to them is that they have the right to remain silent. This is why I believe the Constitution is still relevant.]]> 2020-12-02 18:11:25 UTC https://padlet.com/spappas2/3cwu4zhdx28s7yvy/wish/980991032 https://padlet.com/spappas2/3cwu4zhdx28s7yvy/wish/981964667 The Constitution is still relevant today. Many parts of the constitution are still used today for the betterment of the people. For example, the amendments are used and meant to protect the rights that people have. The 5th amendment allows people to stay silent to prevent them from saying anything without a lawyer that can harm them in court. This amendment is still used today when people say "I plead the 5th" they are using the right they have to stay silent. ]]> 2020-12-02 22:34:51 UTC https://padlet.com/spappas2/3cwu4zhdx28s7yvy/wish/981964667 https://padlet.com/spappas2/3cwu4zhdx28s7yvy/wish/982140974 I believe the constitution is still relevant. Our society today still follows the same laws that were provided years ago. America needs the amendments in order for us to function as a society. I would add on to the second amendment that states the government will not take the right to bear arms from anyone. I would add that the right to bear arms will be taken from those who cause harm onto others if not a act of self defense. This means if someone were to use their right of having a weapon for wrong and to harm people, than it should be taken from them for a period of time.]]> 2020-12-03 00:19:21 UTC https://padlet.com/spappas2/3cwu4zhdx28s7yvy/wish/982140974 https://padlet.com/spappas2/3cwu4zhdx28s7yvy/wish/982460577 I believe that the constitution is still extremely relevant. Much more than before, we have been waking up to the injustices which the systems the America of old had placed before, and these simply will not work anymore. Now more than ever are rights being infringed upon, especially by police, through corruption of power. This is especially seen by things that are very recent like the killing of Jeffery Epstein, a trusted friend of many political officials and a (almost) convicted child trafficker. The constitution is especially relevant because we need to remind ourself's about the rights we have and what we can do if we see injustice in what we are supposed to trust. We have the right to protest for a reason, you know.]]> 2020-12-03 03:32:19 UTC https://padlet.com/spappas2/3cwu4zhdx28s7yvy/wish/982460577 https://padlet.com/spappas2/3cwu4zhdx28s7yvy/wish/985890778 I think the constitution needs to be re written, because a lot has changed through centuries. Throughout the centuries a lot of immigrants have moved to US but the rights were only made for racism. In first amendment it clearly states that you are free to practice any religion, but most people in US are religiophobic and doesn't want to practice their religion. And tell them to go back to their country.]]> 2020-12-03 22:09:57 UTC https://padlet.com/spappas2/3cwu4zhdx28s7yvy/wish/985890778 https://padlet.com/spappas2/3cwu4zhdx28s7yvy/wish/986556188 The constitution is still relevant because it provides essential protections and benefits of life, equality and property to Americans at all times. Even though it was written ages ago it is still something that our society goes by till this day. The ideas liberties and freedom that were written will last forever in our nation. For example the separation of powers makes sure no one can have too much power or is abusing it making sure the nation is perfecltu checked and balanced.

But that is why making sure you are aware of things is so important because you never know who can be trying to change your life for the rest of it in a very bad way. Which also reminds me of the 4th Ammendmant with police brutality and freedom of speech all of it falls in some catergorie in whihc makes it all make sense. ]]> 2020-12-07 06:07:36 UTC https://padlet.com/spappas2/3cwu4zhdx28s7yvy/wish/992968281 ncarroo1323 https://padlet.com/spappas2/3cwu4zhdx28s7yvy/wish/1004264107 I believe the the constitution is still extremely relevant even in todays society. This is very true because of the fact that it exists to protect individuals rights so they cant be exploited by others of the government. The constitution protects your right to a fair trial, freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and your right to bare firearms for self defense. Without the constitution there would be no freedom and everything would be controlled by the government and you would have no means to oppose or any protection. ]]> 2020-12-09 22:05:53 UTC https://padlet.com/spappas2/3cwu4zhdx28s7yvy/wish/1004264107 https://padlet.com/spappas2/3cwu4zhdx28s7yvy/wish/1011757012 I believe that Constitution is and is not still relevant because even though the intention of the constitution was to create a free and non-discriminatory country for everyone, women's and POC's (people of color) rights are constantly violated and disregarded. Some of the rights that constitution lays out for U.S citizens are fair like no religious discrimination, freedom of speech, right to petition the government. However, if the country that set these laws and rights refuse to abide by them then there is no need for them; many people like to hide behind the constitution but when it applies to certain people of specific sexes, sexual orientations, races, cultural, and religious backgrounds.]]> 2020-12-12 01:09:14 UTC https://padlet.com/spappas2/3cwu4zhdx28s7yvy/wish/1011757012
