- Who regarded the Constitution as a union of laws and traditions?
Answers
Answer:
When it was signed in 1789, it was accepted by all government of the various colonies (states) as the supreme law of the land. It was promulgated among the population as the supreme law of the land, and ratified by each state. It wasn’t just a new collection of the same old stuff. It contained laws and citizens rights in the clear. It was also designed to be flexible, as the writers had the foresight to recognize that new times may require changes/ additions. Witness the bill of rights. They are the first ten amendments to the constitution. Flexibility is also seen in the fact that in 2020 we have over 20 amendments.
