Justin Juliano's first question:
"When writing the constitution, who did the founding fathers have in mind as "We the people", when not everyone was in favor of the constitution?"
Personally, I believe that the founding fathers mostly had themselves in mind when they were writing the Constitution. Themselves and people at their level of stature, white men who owned land were the people most thought of.
Eli Pollock's third question:
"Would it be better for a constitution to give us all our laws, or give us principles those laws should adhere to?"
I think that it would be a better idea if the Constitution acted as a guideline as opposed to a strict set of laws. There will always be people who disagree on how to interpret the text of the Constitution, loose constructionists and strict constructionists. If we used it as more of a guideline, it would most likely cause less tension.
