1. how well did the constitution live up to the ideals of the american revolution? 2. what founding principles did the constitution attempt to enact and preserve, and how successful do you think it has been? 3. what praise, suggestions, or criticisms do you think the framers of the constitution would offer to government officials today?

Answer 1: It did pretty well, since the goal of the American Revolution was to establish a form of self-government for the thirteen colonies, rather than depending on Great Britain´s King, which is what the Constitution achieved.

Answer 2: Here is a list of the Constitution´s founding principles:

It has actually been very successful, since nowadays we still have a federal, limited and representative government, we have the right to own private property, as well as a separation of powers.

On the other hand, we could consider that, due to racism and xenophobia, some people don´t have individual liberty, thus violating the first and sixth founding principles.

Answer 3: They would probably be very happy with the government officials, although they would criticize them for letting some ethnic groups being considered as unequal, which, as stated previously, goes against founding principles 1 and 6.

2018 means 2018 ce or common era

there have been other eras too including bce, which included way more years.

the vast majority of ballots have been counted nearly two weeks after one of the biggest political upsets in modern u.s. history catapulted donald trump to the presidency.

estimates show more than 58 percent of eligible voters went to the polls during the 2016 election, nearly breaking even with the turnout rate set during the last presidential election in 2012, even as the final tallies in states like california continue to be calculated, according to statistics collected by the u.s. elections project.

but among those figures were stark contrasts in key states that swing the election to trump — in ohio, wisconsin, iowa, michigan and elsewhere — indicating the president-elect’s leap from long-shot candidate to the most powerful political position in the world may have happened in part because of apathy toward hillary clinton’s candidacy, especially among the democratic base, several political scientists and organizations monitoring voter turnout told the pbs newshour.

while clinton is leading the popular vote by more than 1.5 million over trump as of sunday, she trails president obama’s 2012 totals by more than 2 million ballots — a chasm that may have cost her the election, said david becker, co-founder of the center for election and innovation and research.

“several million voters didn’t come out to vote,” becker said. “which is telling me that this idea of the trump wave, a huge number of voters shifting over to trump, is certainly not the story.”
