The constitution is something that the United States of America has to help protect human civilization rights. The constitution is a well thought out document, assuring that the government is well balanced and no branch of government is more powerful then another. The constitution also reinsures the American citizen’s rights. Ranging from freedom of speech, to freedom of religion, the constitution is surely needed in society. The constitution guidelines Americans to what they can and cannot do, as it also applies to the American government.

During the ideal society simulation, we concluded that the constitution does highly resolve conflict between the government and American citizens. When people disagreed and we’re skeptical about the ideal society, citizens could create bills and pass the bills to the congress or the House of Representatives. After the bills were passed down to the congress or the House of Representatives, they could decide if they wanted to sign the bill and pass the bill as a law. This was a prime example of the checks and balances system. All branches of government had an equal amount of power. This equality was helped by the Constitution. Also during the ideal society, the government and American citizens could hold press conferences, to use the media to address current issues regarding the iChip and other ideal society news. Lastly, the judicial branch helped resolve all court cases that were presented during the ideal simulation. From terrorist acts to legal document demolishing, the people accountable of these acts were sent to court.

Once when the iChip was created and announced to the citizens, people were very multifaceted about this situation. Many thought it was very harmful to human civilization health. Others thought it went against the fourth amendment, where the government could track and record your thoughts and invade your privacy. This caused much controversy, and the citizens tried there hardest to help make this iChip acceptable to all. In conclusion, some citizens created bills trying to inform the government their ideas of how to make the iChip better. The bills were then passed to congress or the House of Representatives, where they made the decision if the bill should be passed as a law. If they agreed with the bill, the bill was then passed to the President, where the president made the decision if he wanted to legitimately pass that bill as a law. If he denied the bill, it was then passed back to congress and the House of Representatives, and if 2/3 of the house agreed with the bill, the bill resulted into a law. This was an example of the checks and balances system. Each branch of government had an equal amount of power. This just shows that the Constitution helps resolve conflict, because it gives everyone equal rights.

The Constitution also helps resolve conflict because during the ideal simulation the government and the citizens could hold press conferences to inform society about the iChip and other current events. The government and the citizens used the media to help get their points across and help inform society about what is going on. The Constitution allows people the freedom of speech, giving the people to speak what’s on their mind.

Lastly, the Constitution helps resolve conflict because the judicial branch chooses people’s consequences in which those involved in felonies or criminal acts.
