Is the consitution liberal, conservative, or both?

For its day, it was a radical document. It put authority not in the hands of God or s representatives on Earth, or in the hands of some divinely elected potentate, but in the hands of the people. It also ensured that the people--any old people--would always be allowed to carry weapons around.

Both of these provisions were incredibly radical.

But now for some reason the conservatives love the gun thing and the liberals don't, while the opposite is true about the establishment of a state religion: (many of) the conservatives seem to want Christianity to be enshrined as the state religion, while the liberals want to keep religion out of government (and vice-versa).

The whole Liberal/Conservative paradigm is just the latest iteration of US politics.

Like you say in your question, different political ideologies will naturally gravitate towards the sections that best reflects their own point of view.

I like how, even more than 200 years later, the ideals enshrined in the Constitution still challenge us to be a better nation. Let's hope we do what we can to live up to it.

I think the constitution is both. And its a matter of convincing argument or interpretation and the numbers of followers, which side rules. Its opened ended like most laws.

Thats the beauty of it.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
