Shaping the structure of the Constitution

Author's note: I have recently created a project on the American Revolution. My thesis statement was, 'How did the American Revolution shape the structure of the Constitution?' So, I have decided  to write a piece explaining this question.

In this piece I will focusing on good organization, because if I don't have good organization my explaining of my thesis statement will make no sense. I will also be focusing on a high proficient thesis statement. I will be focusing on this because I have trouble writing thesis statements usually.  

The Constitution of the United States
en.wikipedia.org


Structure. That is what society craves today. Structure is the building blocks of our civilization today. Without structure America would fall apart. But what really is our structure? Well it is the Constitution of Independence. This constitution hasn't only given us the structure we need, what we had wanted, but this wouldn't have happened without something that had started it all. . . The American Revolution.

The American Revolution had set everything into action.It had  given everyone the idea that we could do or be whatever or whoever we wanted. The american revolution started April 19, 1775. From then on, us Americans had started to build the structure of the constitution. If there was no American Revolution there would be no Constitution of the United States. That means that there would be no United States in general, and we would still be under the rule of Great Britain.

Throughout the war America had started to realize that they could actually become their own country, and that it wasn't just a dream that helped the adults get through the night. After many victories and loses from each side they finally called it quits in 1783 with the Treaty of Paris. The treaty of Paris(also known as the Peace of Paris was signed on September 3, 1783.

During this battle, the Americans had worked hard for their freedom. In the end there was about 10,400 casualties and about 24,300 injured all together when the war finally ended.Everyone worked as hard as they could to get what they wanted, but in the end America had ended up winning, and then came the constitution.

So, if America had never started the American Revolution, the constittution never would have been born. So, the American Revolution shaped the constitution by giving it the backbone to grow into what it is today.
