Answer: During the debates in the state conventions, three common objections were made to the Constitution. First, it was missing a bill of rights. Second, it emasculated the sovereignty of the states. Third, the delegates had exceeded their authority in replacing the Articles of Confederation. Delegates Luther Martin, Elbridge Gerry, and George Mason passionately opposed ratification. Page Ref: 19 2) The ideas of which philosophers served as a basis for the founding of the U.S. constitution? Answer: The ideas of John Locke, Charles de Montesquieu, and Thomas Hobbes, including natural law theory, were a part of the delegates' collective political ideology. The natural law theories were later used by philosophers, such as John Locke and Charles Montesquieu, to advance theories of representative government, separation of powers, and use of the judiciary to protect individuals from governmental abuse. These philosophers advanced the theory that sovereignty rests not with the monarch but with the people. Natural law theories were the foundation of both the French Declaration of Rights and the French Revolution and their U.S. counterparts. Page Ref: 24 75
14 3) How has the U.S. legal concepts of judicial review and a written constitution provided a basis for other countries to follow? Answer: Constitutionalism has been one of the United States's greatest exports. Nearly all nations of the world have adopted a written constitution, many using the U.S. Constitution as the model from which they constructed their own. The idea of rule of law, as actualized through judicial or other forms of constitutional review, has taken hold around the world as well. For example, India adopted judicial review in 1947 following its independence from Great Britain. Page Ref: 42 4) What impact did the Warren Court era leave on modern constitutional law? Answer: Chief Justice Earl Warren presided over a Court that is best known for its decisions protecting individual rights (civil liberties). Much constitutional law was established during the Warren Court era. Included in this Court's decisions are the following: the invalidation of the separate but equal doctrine of Plessy; the finding that privacy is protected by the Constitution, in Griswold v. Connecticut, 381 U.S. 479 (1965); the establishment of much of the First Amendment free speech law used today; and enhanced protection of the rights of persons accused of crimes.
