US CONSTITUTION
The form o f the US government is based on the Constitution o f 1787, adopted after the War o f Independence. A “constitution” in American political language means the set o f rules, laws, regulations and customs which together provide the political norms or standards regulating the work o f the government. The document known as the Constitution o f the United States, though a basic document, is only a part o f the body o f rules and customs which form the whole o f the American Constitution. Supreme Court decisions, interpreting parts o f the US Constitution, law
regulations, customs arc part o f the basic law (the so-called live constitution). Most historians regard the US Constitution as an essentially conservative document. The US Constitution consists o f the Preamble, seven articles and twenty seven amendments, the first ten of them called collectively the Bill o f Rights and adopted under the popular pressure in 1791. When the Constitution was first proposed in 1787, there was widespread dissatisfaction bcausc it didn’t contain guarantees of
ccrtain basic freedoms and individual rights. The Constitution consolidated those gains o f the revolution that were advantageous for the capitalist class. Significantly, nothing was said about the elementary bourgeois democratic freedoms. In December 1791, the Congress adopted ten amendments to the Constitution, known as the Bill o f Rights. The Bill enumerated what the government controlled by the oligarchy was not
going to be allowed to do. It was, o f course, an important democratic gain for the people at that time. But nowadays some o f these ten amendments are relatively unimportant.
The Bill o f Rights is sometimes violated by the judicial and law enforcement practice.
Americans feel that o f all the freedoms proclaimed in the Constitution only one freedom — freedom o f enterprise is in fact guaranteed.
If there is no freedom to work, no guaranteed labour, you face unemployment and poverty. The main freedoms after all a man needs are a life o f security, a guaranteed incomc and guaranteed health carc.
Notes:
“live constitution” — «живая конституция»
what the government controlled by the oligarchy was not going to be allowed
to do. ...что правительству, которое контролировалось олигархией, не разрешалось делать.
