This means, the original “meaning” or purpose of the constitution was altered to save the Little Rock nine kids. History had come a long way since the making of the constitution, so the government used the constitutions power to help those kids and bend the constructors of the outlined article. ]]> 2023-02-13 12:49:59 UTC https://padlet.com/conmoodie/r6uue02eu1ki2ddj/wish/2478856792
