This article also relates to the Constitution because the Constitution made is so the central government was powerful and kept the citizens safe, however it wasn't made to strictly keep high ranking politicians in place, and that's were we see Trump come into play, his misuse of power is a great example as to why we would need a system to keep politicians in place, and besides that it also is a great link to the constitution.]]> 2021-10-21 17:37:56 UTC https://padlet.com/theodorel2025/sc847bniorgb41rp/wish/1834298610 Explanation of how/why the issues in the article are controversial theodorel2025 https://padlet.com/theodorel2025/sc847bniorgb41rp/wish/1834306985 The issues brought up by this article are controversial to say the least, on one hand if you are a huge Trump supporter you might like what he's doing, in this case pardoning his Allies, now if you were a Trump supporter you may like this because of the thought that maybe just maybe because you support him you may be pardoned for something you do. Now of course the opposition has the exact opposite outlook on this, they see it as a complete misuse of power and an overstep to say they least, now whichever side you support this issue brought up in this article is controversial to say the least.]]> 2021-10-21 17:41:18 UTC https://padlet.com/theodorel2025/sc847bniorgb41rp/wish/1834306985 Analysis of how the article demonstrates the relevance of the U.S. Constitution in today’s society theodorel2025 https://padlet.com/theodorel2025/sc847bniorgb41rp/wish/1834319450 This article really highlights how the Constitution can be flawed and in turn lead to the downfall of a nation if one President can cause this much havoc, unrest, and general angst than there is no telling down the line what could happen. and of course that would be were to the Constitution steps in, however in this case what happened was constitutionally ok witch is why we now need to reenterpret this constitution to better suit our needs in preventing mass incursions such as the January sixth one on the capitol. In short the Constitution is one of the strongest weapons so to speak in American society, all we need to do is channel it into keeping this country safer and making sure that we unite the country rather than further divide it, so to draw a long point to a close the constitution is still relevant today and without a doubt we need to study it more closely and do as much as we can to make sure we keep America safe and sound.]]> 2021-10-21 17:46:21 UTC https://padlet.com/theodorel2025/sc847bniorgb41rp/wish/1834319450
