As a reporter in 1787, write an article describing the goals and structure of the newly created U.S. Constitution.

$$\text{\color{default} If one was to write an article in 1787 to inform the general public on the Constitution and what it stands for, one would have to put an emphasis on its intended goals, principles, and means of accomplishing them. }$$

$$\text{\color{default} The goal of making a more perfect union would be easy to present as the imperfections of the union under the Articles of Confederation would be evident to the general public after the outcome of Shays's rebellion. The goals of establishing justice and ensuring domestic tranquility and the responsibility of the central government for the common defense would all be equally undemanding to present on the example of Shay's rebellion and the flaws of the Articles of Confederation. \ Promoting the general welfare, and securing the blessings of liberty are the goals of the Constitution, democracy, and the American state that were established and promised even by the Declaration of Independence, and something the American people could all agree on.}$$

$$\text{\color{default} The principles of popular sovereignty and limited government are also described by the Declaration, and the institutions of separation of powers and checks and balances are something meant to secure the said principles. It wouldn't be hard to explain to the people how the Constitution secures all these principles in the most beneficial way, especially when the principle of federalism secures that each state can decide on the best practices for themselves in certain issues, independently from the central government. The power of judicial review of the courts is a principle implied by the Constitution that secures the rule of law, ensuring equality of all people under the Constitution. }$$

$$\text{\color{default} However, before the inclusion of the Bill of Rights (rather the promise of its inclusion), it would be hard to rally people to the camp of supporters of the Constitution. History has shown that explicit protection of their rights is of utmost importance for the American people. The Federalists and their allies would have had limited success in promoting the ratification of the Constitution if they hadn't agreed on the necessity of these amendments to the original draft of the Constitution.}$$
