I agree with Hamilton because the Preamble highlights that the government is created by the people, which suggests that it should respect our rights. However, I also believe we need a Bill of Rights to clearly list and protect specific rights, making sure the government understands its limits.
"The Preamble (opening) of the Constitution says, ' We the People...do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.' The people created this Constitution. That is enough to make sure the government will never violate people's rights. We don't need an extra Bill of Rights!"
Do you agree with the quote by the famous Federalist Alexander Hamilton? Why or why not?
