Article 1) The first Article of the constitution of the United States list how this new representative democracy of the United States will work; it lists the powers, rights, and responsibilities of our new Government. The government shall be divided into three sections, the Judiciary branch which will be responsible for interpreting the laws, the Executive Branch enforces the law (it also has the president of the United States as the head), and the Legislative branch is responsible for making new laws. Article 2) Explains how a President will be appointed to office as well as the powers the president will have in office as well as his responsibilitys. The president of the United States will have little absolute power over the people his main role as president is either to help pass or prevent new laws from being passed and acting as commander and chief of the USA armed forces Article 3) Explains how the Judiciary branch will operate as well as their powers and responsibilitys. There are three types of Courts, state courts which will handle state level problems, the federal courts which will handle international as well as local disagreements and the supreme which has the last say in any court decision and (is supposed) makes decisions based off of the Constitution. Article 4) This article explains states rights and the states responsibility. The states are responsible for building and maintaining city and caring for what is inside that border. It should be mentioned though the states have been losing power ever since the USA were created, originally this country was supposed to have been sort of a loose confederation of states (a lot like the European union) but slowly the Federal government has been amassing more and more power rendering the state powers obsolete Article 5) This article ensures future representatives the opportunity to make adjustments of the constitution if it is necessary. Article 6) Ensures that the United states government shall respect any debt accumulated before their new government had been established. The article also ensures that the government shall uphold the constitution as the land of the law (and as you can tell from the patriot act this went swimmingly) Article 7) states that the ratification of the constitution will take place with acceptance from the existing states.

Thomas Hobbes is a philosopher who has written many works on philosophy
and government. On the spectrum of Democracy and Dictatorship Hobbes is defiantly more on the side of Dictatorship then Democracy. His most famous view would have to be that humans, regardless of how unfortunate it is are inherently vicious and thus must be restrained from their viciousness. He has many reasons to believe so, for example Jury nullification was used in the deep south after Lynching mobs were brought to court and were found not guilty. When humans are left to their own devices they can do some terrible and stupid things. His type of philosophy has greatly influence our Constitution, for example we are not actually a Democracy we are a representative Democracy which takes away a lot of influence from citizens (our leader could be put into office with the vote of the minority of the population), so instead of making our own rules we have people who we think will represent us in government do it for us. This form of government has a lot of upsides though regardless of how scary it sounds, just look at Singapore and china, they claim to be a Democracy but their governments is run by a one party system (not the same party) and this system has helped bring a higher standard of living to their people. Then there is Jean-Jacques Rousseau a firm supporter of freedom and Democracy. He is a glorified hippy, which is not necessarily bad thing (but most of the time that is a bad thing). Believing in non-land ownership as well as more importantly natural rights. He believed that humans in their natural form (feeding off the land with one hand and wiping with the other) were inherently better but did not necessarily make morally right decisions (all the time). His philosophy at first glance seems to contradict itself but he proposes that the complicated systems that we have set in place for government, trade, and law (society) enforce another set of problems just like living like savages would. For example the idea that anyone can own land is absolutely preposterous, as well as the idea that someone is not allowed to take advantage of the natural resources around them and use them to our disposal. We mutually agree to constrain ourselves and in some ways it is a good thing like for example not killing one another, but to think that someone deserves to own a piece of land and take away the advantage of others to use the natural land and plant natural plants to quench your natural hunger is simply silly. Our civilized ways can lead to some horrid events to like WW2 or the many of the mass killings that humans commit on the less fortunate and advanced can be seen as a terrible outcome of our civilized.
