Conclusion
The world we live in is only sustainable because of the laws that have been put into place by our government. Not all laws are equal, and not all laws are good and truly benefit the people, however that is why we have the ability to change them. The constitution allows for our government to change laws and rules when necessary so that the people do not get stuck with rules that do not apply.
