Why is the U.S. Constitution one of the most respected political documents in the world today?

The Constitution is respected by all Americans because it protects our individual, fundamental and natural rights. Without the creation of it, which was a 100 day process, we would still be living under the Articles of Confederation, that no longer served The U.S's needs at the time, just imagine it now. The amount of debate and arguing between parties of Anti-Federalists and Federalists is what makes it such a sucessful document today, many voices were heard, to gaurentee that for generations, more and more voices would be heard.

The Constitution protects our rights to life, liberty and pusuit of hapiness (John Locke). With out this document the government, states, and people would never agree and their would be constant conflict. It creates a balanced government that has served us well. It gaurentees our rights as citizens.

Explanation:

—Because one of the main reasons that the Americans still wanted Canada in NORAD was the Anti-Ballistic Missile program (ABM). With the threat of bombers decreasing and the threat of intercontinental missiles increasing, NORAD needed to adapt to the new threats. The main issue was about where the ABM's would be located.

Both Canada and the US feared long-range Soviet attack. The Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) and the United States Air Force (USAF) would work together to ensure continental protection.
