The constitution is a symbol of hope and a shield of truth that protects citizens from harm while granting them human rights. However, there is a dark side to the document. The constitution has glaring factual errors covered with scholarly language to appease the public. In fact, since its inception of the document accounts for some of the political ills such as a low voter turnout, unregulated government activities among others. The arguments were convincing enough. For instance, writers of a constitution may have the aim of protecting their wealth and insulating the country from popular authority (Dolbeare &. Manley, 1987).

The founding fathers of America created a nation with one symbol and a common legal structure known as United States to lock out British Empire members from political power. Formation of a state gave the establishing fathers the ability to take over resources. Consequently, they gained enough political power and rebelled against British leaders. Hence, the founding fathers succeeded in establishing a strong privileged form of leadership. To emphasize further, the founding fathers started the American Revolution through this activities and revealed to future generations the need for authoritarianism through unity. In the end, the British leadership came to a halt. The knowledge of American history demonstrates the need for unity and patriotism in the today’s American society (Tyranny is Tyranny).

 A union has to ensure peace and tolerate the opinion of different people, which in turn leads to control of the divergent groups within the union. People allied to popular administrations are confident and more likely to be effective in controlling unions without going against their own beliefs. The rise of instability and other injustices from public councils may brew a rebellion that knock down popular administrations to the ground. Councils running unions tend to lean on topics that favor the public and if the government does not comply, then it may lead to their demise. It is equally important to note that the constitution tries to upgrade the relationship between factions and administration through valuable laws and other models (James Madison).

Dealing with different factions is possible. There are two ways of handling factions in the society. First, by identifying the reasons behind their anger and passion. Secondly, by removing their cause and absorbing the effects of the actions. Of course destroying a faction’s cause will destroy their liberty and scatter their course (James Madison).

The role of a union is to ensure political security and contentment of the public. Without the presence of a union body, exposure to misrepresentation and evil ambition is eminent. Hence, preservation of union is an essential need. The constitution plays a role in the protection of unions. Even though the position of a union is sure and the feelings and insight of its role has enough support, people must remain alert to the fact that the constitution has loopholes that may eradicate unions. To emphasize further, through the imperfections of the constitution, one can harness enough support to overthrow the role of unions in society. In fact, it is common knowledge that governments do not like unions and most of the times they try inhibit their influence on the vital issues. The independence of people in a country should not be subject to be debate anywhere. Citizens have a right to know what happens within the government and how it affects their lives (Alexander Hamilton).
