I was writting an ESSAY recently about the United States. I decided that I was going to share it with you as well. Here it is...

As an American, I am proud to live in this country. We have rights that people in many other countries don't. We have established a Constitution that enforces and describes our rights and many other things that make our country unique. Through the Constitution we are unified under our rights in a way that separates us from other countries.
As everybody knows, our government is a three branch republic. We as a people elect a candidate to represent us as a whole. When we all come together to pick a new, or reelect an old, president, the rest of the world watches in awe. They are amazed that we can do this freely without interference.
The Constitution was written in 1787 and sets the base for our government. The amendments of the Constitution are what actually give us our rights. This document has more importance than the Declaration of Independence in my opinion. The Constitution allows us to defend ourselves even against the state. We all have the right to a trial and a speedy trial as well. We are not automatically guilty and must prove our innocence but rather the opposite. We are not required to house military personnel even in times of war. Under these rights and many more we are united. Our common rights give us all something to defend.
This is the best country in the world, not just for its advances in technology and in society, but for the inalienable rights that we are naturally born with. Who knew that a bunch of old guys sitting around, talking, could make a document that enables us to do the many things they couldn't under British control. They wanted a country whose citizens would be free and the generations after would be also. They wrote the Constitution that did exactly that.

That was my take on the unity of the U.S. I hope you liked it.
In other news I have the new total for the funds which is $1020. Thank you everybody!!! We were able to make the first month payment. I thank you again for all the things you did.
