What does your text mean when it says that the Constitution, "...elevated the ideals of the Revolution even while setting boundaries to them"?

Asked by Gabbyhayz

Answer (2)

The idea that the Constitution, "elevated the ideals of the Revolution even while setting boundaries to them" is referring to the fact that the Constitution embodied the desires of revolutionaries to crewe a government that was drastically different than the monarchical system of government that had governed them previously. However, these ideals were also limited because the Constitutional writers also put in a system of federalism and checks and balances to check certain aspects of revolutionaries of the time.

The Constitution elevated the ideals of the American Revolution by establishing a government that protected individual rights and liberties. However, it set boundaries, such as limiting voting rights and creating federalism, to provide stability and prevent chaos. This dual nature reflects both the aspirations and the caution of the Founding Fathers in creating a new nation.
