(written in front: learn, ha ha!May see more or less the same, but I still write a lot.Write is in the form of reference, thank the original author "Run Lola Run * furongwang memory")
On the American constitution is an important part of history study, and I'm American culture is more interested in, so I chose this book to read.And the title is referred to "our reflection", I think, if we can through some of the historical events that help us to think about reality, I can improve on history learning level, so it is a very good read.
The book records the three or four month and the whole process of striking one snag after another constitutional convention.The meeting called "hard up", indeed, America assembly meeting in Chinese seems just as a joke, a start even state representatives are not complete, process the opposition continuously, I think, when the Americans is not much looking forward to the meeting.But in this full of twists and turns and hardships, a test of the Americans in the contest, these are called "wild continent country bumpkin", finally formulated and promulgated the far-reaching significance, the first written constitution in the world, "the Federal Constitution of 1787".
Both the supporters and opponents, they are on the constitution of Chengdu to cannot be done not have, they are the architects of the constitution.The constitution due to attract support and oppose the views of both sides, through compromise, became a most can reflect the constitutional and republic spirit of the constitution.The previous time in learning "the constitution of 1787" did not understand this point, so I think it is very worthy of our consideration and study areas.
We now know USA is a relative Chinese is a free country, this is due to their constituent.They can sacrifice things definitely does not include their rights.So, when I saw the constitution described in the Book American pictures, I can understand what they are in pursuit of, absolutely not get in the form of something.One section is the description of the:
"Now, things may be good enough in these leaders were not what the grand ideals and absolutely advocate.There is the ideal, but not great; that is some, but not absolutely.No grand, can pragmatic; not absolute, good talk."Federal Constitution" is to 'talk' about it.To discuss also have a premise, is that we do not expect perfection.These simple, naive, honest people understand: there is no perfect thing in the world, there is no perfect solution.To achieve the most is not bad, is the best." The purpose is to build a better fed, they even have no concept of what the country, but they are seeking, is worthy of our consideration -- the people's rights.And put one's heart and soul into to this problem, so the Constitution in USA history is very important.They know a truth "born free", God given right, is not to be deprived of.
For the characters in the book, I have the deepest impression is about Franklin and Washington narrative.The Franklin's justice, honesty, prudence, Washington's character, let us see the achievement America people what. This book tells the story of the 1787 USA constitution is very clear, let us consider the process USA Constitution clearly understand.And I also saw the foundation USA culture forms, see the establishment of this land of freedom, I want to Chinese can learn their constitutional spirit.The book is less mentioned reflection, a little disappointed, watching the evaluation of some people is that.But in general, the book written by Yi Zhongtian makes people feel very good reading, I also like this book.
