The horse is not only an animal that has been associated with humans since ancient times. The horse has also been an animal that has played an especially important role in human history. That is why today we will analyze the role of the horse through history and its importance today. The horse has accompanied the human being in his transformation of the world and also in his transformation into being civilized. At first the horse was a source of food, but quickly its physiological characteristics made it more than that. The horse played a very important role in the production and distribution of goods during history. Likewise, the horse had a very important role in the history of the transport of people. But one of the roles of the horse that most changed the way the world was conceived was its role as a technology of war. The horse in battles became for centuries the movement technology of war par excellence. Due to the use of the horse as a warfare technology in history, the methods of breeding and reproduction were deepened. This improved the characteristics of the horses according to the need. No doubt the horse has had an impact on the history of humanity and civilization. Today we will see a ride “on horseback” through different stages of the development of humanity and history. We will study the role of the horse in history and know why some say that the horse is the most important animal in history.Table of Contents. ToggleThe beginning between the horse and humanityThe horse in agriculture and livestockThe horse as a technology of war in historyIs the horse important in human history? Yes of course The beginning between the horse and humanity The horse appears in the history of mankind approximately 5100 years ago. With this, a change was initiated that will have no turning back. Initially the horse was equivalent to a cow, with the big difference that catching a horse was much more difficult. Horses for humans were prey that had to be captured wild to feed. Prey par excellence, the horse knew that his life depended on his agility and his keen senses. Therefore, it is considered that horses can be skittish, that they can be traumatized easily and with acute senses. His life depended on being alert and not making the same mistake twice. However, the intelligence of the human being was transforming it into an animal that served to be raised. Like cows, horses were bred to become food for the first civilizations. So much so that today the custom of eating horse meat is preserved. But we’ll leave that for later. Horse meat has been a food from the first moment man had contact with the horse. Over time production patterns have changed to favor beef production given its higher productivity. But this is a custom that has not been lost. That is why the horse in the first instance was food for men. But quickly his role changed because the horse was an intelligent and strong animal. This made it fit to be a production tool rather than its own goal. Next, we will delve into its role as a support in the production of goods. The horse in agriculture and livestock Due to the horse’s strength and intelligence, its role in the story was destined to be modified. As soon as man noticed this potential, he began to use the horse as a tool for agriculture. The horse could be used to drag heavy loads or plows. This accelerated and enhanced the birth of nomadic communities, which grew their food and remained in one place. Also, thanks to this, livestock began to develop in a different way to what had been carried out. The establishment of nomadic communities gave rise to the importance of generating means of transport to connect communities. Already around 4000 BC the human being began to ride horses. Its current enormous potential was quickly increased by this technology, horse riding. Horse riding was a skill that allowed you to travel great distances in a short time. Horseback riding also allowed humans to ride it to direct agricultural activities. In addition, horse riding also became a way to get prey and control animals. That is why the horse is considered a key factor in the popularization of livestock. We may think that everything was there, but on this technology a much deeper change began to take shape. The creation of the wheel that occurred some 500 years before the horse mount was a key factor for a new revolution, the carts. Horse-drawn carts allowed several people to be moved over great distances. But the differentiating factor here is that the people who were transported did not require knowing how to ride a horse. This is how the transport of people and goods was revolutionized while the horse continued to leave its mark on history. The horse in the history of agriculture The horse as a technology of war in history Human being has always had conflict and war as the engine of his history. That is why the history books do not count the long periods of peace but list the wars, their start and end dates. History reflects winners and losers, and it is rewritten to “the measure” of the winners. That is why we can consider that the horse is an animal that marked a before and after in humanity. The struggles for the territories were limited to the scope of the routes made by humanity. His mobility before the horse was extremely restricted. The horse came to transform the mobility of the human being and to take his battles and “his history” beyond the natural borders of humanity. The horse became the determining technology that changed the way war was made, in the same way that gunpowder, fuel vehicles, airplanes or nuclear energy changed it. Bringing war to any corner of the planet became a possibility. An opportunity exploited by the great expeditions of the empires of the ancient world. Without the horse expeditions like Alexander the Great’s or empires like the Roman would not have been possible. The horse changed the history of humanity, as well as others would later change it. But the horse would not so quickly abandon its moment of glory. The privileged place of the horse in history extended until the birth of the steam engine. Statue of Buccephalus and Alexander the Great Is the horse important in human history? Yes of course No doubt the horse transformed humanity. This noble animal has been used in noble industries even for the lowest purposes of the human being. War, as we know it today, would have been impossible without the horse, and so the history of the human being. Perhaps now that the horse does not carry our wars in tow, we can learn something from its pacifism. To teach sometimes it is better to be prey than predator. Perhaps the human being, just as he learned to “improve war” through the horse, will learn to “improve” peace and his history as well.

Thomas Jefferson was a prominent politician of the United States of America. He is considered one of the founding fathers of the North American nation and went through the positions of president and vice president. In addition, he is recognized for being the author of the American declaration of independence. Today we will learn more about the life of Thomas Jefferson and his role in the independence of this important country. Thomas Jefferson was born on April 13, 1973, in Virginia. From an early age he was an avid student. He learned languages such as Latin, Greek, and French and also studied history and science. He also had access to the writings of Isaac Newton, Francis Bacon and John Locke. These three scholars marked Thomas Jefferson’s way of thinking. They were also inspirations for the American Declaration of Independence. His love for knowledge was so great that he founded the University of Virginia.  His knowledge was so broad that during J.F. Kennedy’s reception of 49 Nobel Prize winners, he said: “I think this is the most extraordinary collection of talent and human knowledge ever assembled at the White House — with the possible exception of when Thomas Jefferson dined alone.” This equated Thomas Jefferson’s extensive intellectual background with that of 49 Nobel laureates… Beyond the possible exaggerations, Thomas Jefferson will remain for posterity as a great American who defined the future of his country. Let’s learn a little more about the life of Thomas Jefferson and the American Declaration of Independence. Thomas Jefferson MemorialTable of Contents. ToggleBiography of Thomas JeffersonDeclaration of IndependenceThomas Jefferson, one of the fathers of the American Declaration of Independence Biography of Thomas Jefferson Thomas Jefferson was born into a wealthy family. His father was Peter Jefferson was a landowner and surveyor and his mother was the daughter of a powerful landowner. At the age of 9 he attended a school where he learned several languages including Greek, Latin and French. Sadly, his father Peter Jefferson died when Thomas was 14. He inherited twenty square kilometers and hundreds of slaves. After his father’s death he quickly returned to his studies. He devoted himself to expanding his basic knowledge with history and science. At the age of 16 he started university to study mathematics and some of the most renowned political philosophers and lawyers. With this began the formation of his political thought. His appetite for knowledge was voracious and he was said to study more than 15 hours a day. His extreme dedication sometimes separated him from family and friends. Upon graduating from mathematics at the university he began to study law with the famous George Wythe. After graduation his training led him to be one of the most outstanding lawyers in Virginia. He had overseen representing the most powerful families in the region. Thanks to this, his influence grew. In 1969 he was elected to represent the citizens of the county in the Virginia legislature. That position led him to take. Thomas Jefferson Road to independence from the United States While representing his county in the Virginia legislature, the movements that would lead to independence began to take place. While in this position there is the so-called “Boston Tea Party” in Boston and later the enactment of the so-called “intolerable acts“. The enactment of the intolerable laws was the disproportionate reaction of the English empire to discontent and revolts in its colony. This movement only stirred the waters even more and led many citizens who remained neutral to speak out. At that time Thomas Jefferson wrote a resolution against “intolerable acts.” These ideas were entrusted to the Virginia delegation to be taken to the first continental congress but were still considered very radical at the time. However, Thomas Jefferson’s ideas later became part of the principles on which the American Declaration of Independence was based. Among those ideas was the following:Legal and constitutional objections to “intolerable acts”. They were contrary to the established legal establishment. The natural right of self-government: At this point it is established that the settlers had the right to be governed by themselves. He considered the British Empire to be a remote government and did not understand its problems. Objection to the British parliament legislating on the colonies. It was clear that the British parliament exceeded its powers in legislating in the colonies when they had their own legislative bodies.This document was brought to discussion at the first continental congress. However, it can be said that he laid the ideological foundations for the American declaration of independence.Declaration of Independence Before the declaration of independence there were political tensions. These tensions ended in the first battle of the Revolutionary War, the Battle of Lexington. That battle was the product of the sending of a British military contingent whose purpose was to silence the demands of the colonies. However, the colonies decided to arm their own army made up of militias from each of the colonies. Later there were other battles that were consolidating the military power of the colonies. To this was added the support of some Spanish colonies. The political step that would begin the stage of the Independent United States of America was inevitable. The Second Continental Congress would end up giving formality to the independence process. On June 11, 1976, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, Roger Sherman, Benjamin Franklin and Robert Livingston were commissioned to prepare the document to formalize independence. These in turn drew the general guidelines and Thomas Jefferson was entrusted with the drafting of the first draft. The second draft with the changes suggested by each of the committee members was presented to the Second Continental Congress. The congress edited the draft and finally submitted the final draft for consideration on July 1. After long deliberations and speeches, it was adopted on 2 July. But it is considered that the formal day of the declaration of independence on July 4, 1776, since that day the resolution was formally published. No doubt the important role of Thoma. The Declaration of Independence and the Draft Committee Thomas Jefferson, one of the fathers of the American Declaration of Independence Thomas Jefferson marked a before and after for the United States of America. So much so that he was later made vice president and president of the nation. Thanks to his contribution, the ideal of freedom, justice and equality began to take its first steps in the Americas. Of all the words of Thomas Jefferson in the American declaration of independence, the following words resonate: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” Undoubtedly a visionary man and whose name will be engraved in the memory of the next generations for posterity.

Abraham Lincoln is considered the best president of the United States of America by historians and by American citizens. This is because, thanks to his determination and cunning, he achieved the abolition of slavery. His biggest challenge was to keep the country together despite disagreements on the issue of slavery. Today we will know a little about the life of Abraham Lincoln. We will learn about his political career, his struggle to abolish slavery and his role in the Civil War. Lincoln, a man who inspired the American freedom struggle, still remains in the hearts of its citizens. Echoing the words of Abraham Lincoln in the Gettysburg Address honoring the fallen for the freedom of slaves we can say that: “The world will hardly notice or remember for a long time what is said here, but it can never forget what they did on this site.” Undoubtedly, the freedom of slaves in the United States of America marked a before and after for the world. The vocation for freedom of this country was spread through the world. Although slavery is still happening today, the world no longer sees it as acceptable. Abraham Lincoln was a product of his time, but in turn it was his determination that made the freedom of slaves possible. But his other big challenge was to maintain the unity of the United States. Today we will discover how he achieved both challenges with great intelligence. Let’s get to know a little about Abraham Lincoln’s life. Abraham LincolnTable of Contents. ToggleWho was Abraham Lincoln?Young AbrahamThe Struggle for the Abolition of SlaveryEmancipation Proclamation Who was Abraham Lincoln? Abraham Lincoln was a prominent American politician who will always be remembered for the abolition of slavery. A lawyer by profession, Lincoln understood that civil rights were the cornerstone for building the country that the founding fathers planned. Lincoln was born in Hodgenville, Kentucky and was raised between Indiana and Kentucky. His parents were Thomas Lincoln and Nancy Hawks. They married when Lincoln’s father was 28 and his mother was 22. Although Abraham Lincoln did not adhere to any religion, his religious upbringing at home is noticeable in his speeches and in the values he upheld. His parents were Baptist Christians, and this marked the way he looked at life. His knowledge of the Bible was profound. In his speeches he used biblical quotations to convey his ideas. Young Abraham As we mentioned, his upbringing was strongly marked by the religion of his parents Thomas and Nancy. His Baptist roots can be seen in his egalitarian vocation and the need to give freedom to all human beings. Already a little older, he was hired by family friends to drive a barge carrying merchandise. His travels took him to New Orleans along the so-called “sugar coast.” During those trips along the Mississippi River he was able to come into contact with the misery of the people. Abraham Lincoln understood this situation because his youth had passed during his family’s poverty. When he was hired to take care of a warehouse, he discovered that he needed to educate himself. Being an independent man, he realized everything he needed to learn. He handled reading, writing, and math rudiments, but he longed to know much more. Thus began a self-taught process that continued while he was enlisted in the U.S. Army. He subsequently had a successful political career. It was partially truncated by the U.S. Intervention in Mexico, and we will talk about it next. Abraham Lincoln with his family Abraham Lincoln ‘s political career During the beginning of his political career, Lincoln was affiliated with the Whig Party of the United States. Representing this he was elected state legislator in Illinois for 4 periods. He was subsequently elected as a deputy to the United States Congress for the state of Illinois. With an enviable political trajectory, the Division of the Whig Party regarding the U.S. Intervention in Mexico translated into instability. The victory of the United States in Mexico resulted in the weakening of the Whig party and its dissolution. This put Abraham Lincoln’s political career on hold and delayed attempts to abolish slavery. The southern states aspired to expansion into Mexico to increase their power and increase the territories where slavery was legal. Although for a few years Lincoln would remain in the exercise of the right, his political capital would increase. In a few years he would try again first as a candidate for the vice presidency in the internal elections and shortly after in elections for the presidential race. But his career would be surrounded by great tensions around the issue of the abolition of slavery. Physical punishment of slaves in the United States of America The Struggle for the Abolition of Slavery The struggle for the abolition of slavery was already several years on the table. It all began with the declaration of war on Mexico, for defending the lands that belonged to it, it began in 1946. The war was supported by the Democrats who considered it their destiny to expand the territory of the United States. It was also supported by the slavers of the South to increase its power and maintain slavery. By that time, the legality of slavery was beginning to be rejected. This is how the Mexican-American War delayed the abolition of slavery and gave strength to the Democratic Party and the slavers of the South. However, the dissolution of the Whig Party and the birth of the Republican Party gave new hope. Image about the American Civil War Abraham Lincoln ‘s Presidential Race to Abolish Slavery With the birth of the Republican Party, of which Abraham Lincoln was the founder, a new opportunity opened up to fight slavery. Lincoln’s proposed government program proposed the abolition of slavery and with it tensions were rising along with support for Lincoln. Emancipation Proclamation Taking as a pretext the separation of the states, Lincoln decreed the emancipation of the slaves in those territories recovered by the union army. This is how the advance of the United States army meant the liberation of thousands of slaves. It is estimated that this resulted in the liberation of 3.5 million slaves. This proclamation was a presidential order issued by Abraham Lincoln that would later be reaffirmed with the thirteenth amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Victory was not easy, but thanks to Lincoln’s political ability, his involvement in the conflict, and the political ability of General Ulyses S. Grant, the United States became a country beginning to free itself from the shame of slavery.

The French civil code, better known as the Napoleonic code, is one of the great contributions of French law to universal law. This code is among the best known and studied in the world. Its influence is reflected in all the civil codes of Europe, after its publication, and even in the codes of Latin America. Napoleon was not only a military genius, but he was also a visionary when it came to law. To achieve the great changes his country needed, he devised total legal change by dismantling the monarchy. In this way the monarchical institutions would not be transformed and adapted but would become extinct. Napoleon had in his mind to carry forward a civilizing and unifying project of the West. For this, it needed a single egalitarian legal framework that governed everywhere equally, something that did not exist in France at the time. In this way he had a great military project and a great transformative project of society. This project, the Napoleonic code, would become his true universal legacy. The Napoleonic code is in force in France today, although it has undergone many changes to adapt to modern times. Due to its great influence and validity today, we will know more about the Napoleonic code or Napoleonic code. Let’s get started. Napoleonic CodeWatch this video on YouTube Background to the Napoleonic Code Throughout history the elaboration of normative bodies has had a great evolution. Some attempts to make an all-inclusive body of law have not had a rational and organic organization. That is why Napoleon entrusted the task of developing his Napoleonic code to a group of doctors in law who were not only responsible for compiling all the necessary rules, but also giving them a natural organization. But to get there, the law has gone through different stages that ended at the codification stage. The different stages through which the law passed were that of customary law, that of compilations and that of codification. Below we will detail each of them. Napoleon Bonaparte Customary law It was the first source of law and is based on social traditions and customs. Rules that are transmitted in writing or orally. This origin in customs means that they have no structure and that they can lend themselves to interpretations. In this first form, oral law meant that access to the right was limited to its connoisseurs or to those who could afford a specialist. With the passage to writing these codes were available to people to be studied and used. In addition, its written character gave it a greater immutability and therefore could not be manipulated. Here we can find the established laws that later formed the Hammurabi code. However, at that time they were scattered, and the Hammurabi code did was collect them, which brings us to our next source. The compilation of laws As societies become more complex, so do laws. Therefore, the law was composed of scattered laws that sometimes overlapped creating contradictions and problems. It therefore became necessary to create compilations of laws to give it coherence and avoid such contradictions. Sometimes the compilations ended up mixing all kinds of rights such as civil with criminal and administrative. Thus, were born the following compilations of laws:Hammurabi code decreed by King Hammurabi. The law of the twelve tables: It was the law established to eliminate the privileges of the patricians (descendants of the founders of Rome) in ancient Rome and is one of the first to group the regulations by theme. However, they did not include all the legal rules because some were over-understood. Justinian’s Corpus Iuris Civilis: This approached code consideration. However, it was constituted in a compilation because it included legal norms without validity. In addition, it included philosophical elements on the source of law and quotations from classical judges. A scholarly compilation of Roman law and its sources.Codification of the law The codification of the law seeks to reflect only the sources of legality and rules in force in an organized and systematic manner. It is the body of laws organized in a systematic, organic and harmonious way. The Napoleonic code became one of the most influential sources of law thanks to its use of the codification of law. In this way the law is organized to maintain coherence in its normative body. The French Civil Code, better known as the Naopoleonic Code Justification for Napoleonic code creation The Napoleonic code was constituted due to several needs arising from the French revolution. These two main needs were:The need to eliminate or undermine the institutions that supported a monarchical society. The need to have a single body of law that would guarantee the stability of the country in the face of the expansionist project that it proposed.Napoleon’s intention was to bring his idea of individual rights to everyone, or at least half. For Napoleon there should only be two empires, the east and the west. Napoleon was determined to be the head of the Western empire and to take the idea of a free society to every corner. Undoubtedly a laudable project but that when carried out militarily generated the rejection of “collectivist” societies. Waterloo eventually curbed his civilizing intent, but he still left a historical mark through the Napoleonic code and the legal codes of liberal Europe. Napoleon Bonaparte Freedom of trade: Elimination of guilds and monitoring of the legality of loans to fight against usurers This part of the legislation ensured that each individual could exercise his or her economic activity without limitations of any kind. Under the monarchy, bureaucratic structures were established that did not only serve to associate in terms of a common welfare. These institutions legislated on rights in respect of the exercise of an activity. In this way a person could not exercise a trade if he was not affiliated and did not comply with the rules imposed by the guild. This could have to do with the demand for a minimum wage for a job. But it was also a way of avoiding competition, limiting the right to do so and artificially reducing the supply of labour. Limits were also set on loans to prevent usury and for this to obstruct economic freedom. A loan on usury was seen as a threat to free enterprise and free trade. How could you exercise the freedom of trade if you were “slave” to a loan under conditions of usury? Trade unions have a positive side in fighting for safe working conditions and living wages. But at the same time, many trade union associations also stipulate dues for unionized workers on infrastructure works. This can also be seen in other sectors. That unions have the power to guide the workers you have to hire violates the freedom to do business. This contrasts some aspects of freedom of enterprise against freedom of association. This is one of the contradictions between society and individual that will always be present in history. The French revolution prioritized the individual and the communist revolution prioritized society. These are impulses that are constantly struggling throughout history. Napoleonic Code Effects of changes in French legality through the Napoleonic code All these changes dismantled the economic and social foundations of the monarchical system. This transformed French society, eliminating the privileges that “rode” on the pretext of the “common interest.” The Napoleonic code defined not only the way in which the legal bodies of the world would be established, but also the foundations of human rights and urged respect for individual rights and equality in the face of the imposition of society. These are aspects that Gustavo Mirabal has always admired about the French revolution and its changes. Changes that ultimately created the modern society in which we live, and which guarantees the rights of every human being.

The Constitution of the United States is the first constitution in the world. This constitution set the tone for the creation of new states. The ideals of freedom and equality are reflected in its lines. So today we will talk about the US constitution as its constitution has promoted America as a prosperous and powerful nation. Structure of the Constitution of the United States The Constitution of the United States is one of the magna cartas that has had the most impact in the history of the world. Its preparation and ratification by each of the Länder is an example of democracy ahead of its time. However, this constitution has undergone changes over time. There are currently 27 amendments to the original constitution. The original Constitution has 7 articles which define the fundamental aspects of the Federal Government of the United States. Below, we will give a brief description of the characteristics of each of these articles of the Constitution of the United States. The Constitution of the United States of AmericaWatch this video on YouTubeTable of Contents. ToggleArticle 1 – About the legislative powerArticle 2- The executive branchArticle 3 – On the judiciaryArticle 4 – The power of states and their limits.Article 5 – On the process of amending the Constitution of the United States.Article 6 – On the supremacy of federal laws and the constitution.Article 7 – On the Ratification of the Constitution of the United States.On the constitution, the bill of rights and amendments Article 1 – About the legislative power It describes all the functions, powers, and structures that will become the legislative branch of the United States. The article includes the structure of the United States Congress by establishing a bicameral congress. This congress will have the house of representatives and the senate as legislative structures. This article also sets out how its members will be elected and the qualifications they must have to be eligible. In addition, the power of congress is limited and the corresponding processes for the legislative process are outlined. Constitution of the United States Article 2- The executive branch Article 2 sets out everything related to the executive branch. This includes everything about the figures of the president and vice president. This part of the constitution indicates the procedures for the election of president and vice president and the requirements to be met by applicants. Additionally, this article specifies issues such as succession in the event of death or disability, as well as the processes for removal of the president known as impeachment. Bill Clinton’s Impeachment was famous Article 3 – On the judiciary This article is the constitutional basis of the judiciary of the United States of America.  These articles create the Supreme Court of the United States and limit the scope in which federal justice can act. The areas in which the federal courts may act are:Crimes of a federal nature. Trials on diplomatic grounds Maritime trials Trials in which the two parties states of the union. Lawsuits between citizens of two different states. Lawsuits with foreign states.It also limits the fact that states cannot be sued by individuals in federal courts. These must be sued in state courts directly. The last point that this article regulates is related to the crime of treason. This definition differs considerably from the English definition of treason and its consequences. Article 4 – The power of states and their limits. Article 4 describes how states relate to their citizens, to each other, and to federal power. It states that the States of the Union may not discriminate in any way against the citizens of other states. This applies both in rights and penalties for crimes committed. It also requires states to have full faith in the records and procedures of other states. However, it also establishes that congress may issue guidelines on such records and procedures. This also provides for the extradition of criminals between the Member States of the United States. Finally, one of the aspects also regulated by this article is the way in which new states can be admitted to join to the United States. It is one of the articles guaranteeing the form of federal government in the U.S. Constitution. Constitution of the United States Article 5 – On the process of amending the Constitution of the United States. This article is key to the evolution of the U.S. Constitution. Article 5 establishes the mechanisms and procedures for amending the constitution. The U.S. Constitution establishes two mechanisms for amending the Constitution, which are:Amendment proposed by Congress: With two-thirds of the congressional quorum, an amendment may be proposed. This must happen in both the House and Senate. Amendment proposed by the legislative bodies of the states of the union: State legislative bodies may with two-thirds of the votes request congress to convene a national convention to consider an amendment. This is mandatory for congress.Despite the existence of both mechanisms, all amendments have been requested through the first mechanism. Proposed amendments resulting from discussions at the congress or national convention require approval. For its approval, 75% of the states are required to ratify the amendment. This article has only one limitation and that is that no amendment can eliminate equal representation in that state’s senate without that state’s consent. Article 6 – On the supremacy of federal laws and the constitution. This article essentially states that all states and public officials are subject to the constitution, federal laws, and treaties entered by the United States. In this way any authority or law must not conflict with the Constitution of the United States. Nor will it conflict with federal laws. All public officials hold under oath or promise to submit to the constitution and federal laws. Additionally, this law ensures that debts incurred by the confederation or by the union will be considered valid. In this way the union ensures the payment of its debts. Article 7 – On the Ratification of the Constitution of the United States. This article set out the necessary requirements for the ratification and entry into force of the U.S. constitution. Here it was established that the constitution would not go into effect until it was ratified by at least 9 of the 13 states of the original union. Constitution of the United States Ratification On the constitution, the bill of rights and amendments The U.S. Constitution has been constantly being perfected. This is because it included the mechanism of the constitutional amendment from its first form. Thanks to this it has been adapting to the new times. The bill of rights and 26 constitutional amendments have been included in the constitution. The United States is one of the political references of modernity. It is sometimes attributed to its economic character. But the reality is that it is the result of a political culture that privileges freedom and counterweights to absolute state power. As a result, the development of the human being is given priority over state power. State power serves individual development and not individual power serving state development. This is one of the great lessons in understanding the U.S. Constitution.
