Constitution Questions

My gosh, you are a grammar King.& Most of the time I am to busy to care.& Unless I'm doing a paper for grade, then I get my style books out.


Anyway, it says Constitution for the United States.

The reason or purpose the Constitution was established was for the United States. It (the Constitution) put restrictions on the created branches. There are no restrictions on “We the People. “ In other words why was the Constitution established? Answer: For the “United States” not for “We the People.”</FONT></FONT></SPAN>
