The current Constitution of the United States is the Perpetual Union's second. This video provides a brief history on the first constitution, the Articles of Confederation, its collapse and the process utilized to call the Philadelphia Convention of 1787 to form a More Perfect Union. The 1787 President of the United States and his Congress, ultimately, were responsible for the passage of our current U.S. Constitution as they called the convention and choose not to change a word of the New Plan For the Federal Government sending it along to the States. This President and his Congress also passed the Northwest Ordinance , on which Daniel Webster would later remark: "We are accustomed to praise lawgivers of antiquity ... but I doubt whether one single law of any lawgiver, ancient or modern, has produced the effects of more distinct, marked, and lasting character than the Ordinance of 1787" These two laws, the U.S. Constitution and The Northwest Ordinance are the products of the what this historian considers to be the most important U.S. Presidency and Congress in American History. Do you the Presidents name?

  • Btw we all know that it's not a religious or racial or anything war were fighting in the middle east. It's a fuckin money war and OBAMA is the biggest bitch in the whole story. He is enslaving people to go fighting for oil. Do we wan't Americans to go randomly killing for money or do we want america to have one state have it's own power. DECENTALIZATION is the only thing and the weapon industry is creating a growing war for exhaustable energie. Rather we should change our ways than dig eternal!!

  • Natianalism is what killed jews, nationalism is what will kill Americans if they will not stop defending their name. Go fuck yourselves back in time, or don't lie the power of the whole community in one mans hands motherfuckas. Obama is a black guy with the force to kill the fucking planet to his hands, WTF ? Presidency of the worlds ? Satelite zooming on your breath ? Working as a slave for digging some insignificant oil. America is annihilating itself with hate, put the past fucking behind!

  • @thewhisperingeagle wow. seek professional mental therapy at once.

  • @usaeagle1776 The Zionists are at work in our government. These dual citizens who love Israel more than this country are utilizing our military to upset the middle east making it easier for Israel to expand its boarders. RISE UP AGAINST DUAL CITIZENS IN OUR GOVERNMENT - ONLY AMERICAN CITIZENS SHOULD SERVE IN AMERICA'S GOVERNMENT AND MILITARY.

  • @ChocolateORE : yeah, everything is so great that all those cubans dying in makeshift boats tring to get to the USA every day are happy. DUH. bullshit. And 21 billion? you know how much it takes to set up an oil field, search for one let alone get it running?In the billions. DUH. and the fact that oil companies only own 5% of the total oil reserves, while the GOVT owns the rest. Quit getting your info from PMSNBC and learn the real facts.

  • @ProudPatriotUSA Don't forget some of the funny things that constitution had (3/5 rule), no vote for women, etc. Of course the constitution HAD to change because the times are changing. The times are changing slower of faster depending on the person (for you I imagine too fast). For me they are changing too slow, but I imagine that by the time I'm near 60 I'll be complaining about the younger generation and how THEY want to destroy the constitution. It's a cycle.

  • @usaeagle1776 I had a professor who was from cuba and very happy, the only that upset her was how the American media manipulated the information to only show disgrunted cuban ppl complaining about the system. The "commie" fear is so 2 generations ago. Why do oil companies, who made the most profit last year, get 21 BILLIONS on tax breaks? How is THAT not communist?? Yet all people complain about is the scraps we give poor people. The media is bought and controlling ppls opinion.

  • @ChocolateORE :then go out and earn more. we are not a socialist shithole like Cuba. 

  • @usaeagle1776 That doesn't mean we should have a monetary price on everything either. We need to value equality a whole lot more. The rich get richer and the poor get poorer, and trust me, you're not part of that top 10%.

  • @ChocolateORE nothing is free. you will be paying it, as with others. nothing is free in reality...commmie boy.
