The reasons why there was Revolution against England were still important to the American citizens, so they wanted to make sure that they would have justice under the Constitution.
The Founders designed the Constitution to “establish justice,” meaning equal justice for all. Within that definition there are things that must be taken into consideration like moral codes, religion and the set of beliefs a person is raised on, all of these things differentiate for each person. In the Constitution’s preamble it is stated that to form a “more perfect union” we must “Establish justice”. Justice was a problem at that time, and they were being treated unfairly by England. People wanted a nation with an equal playing field, where courts were established with consistency and where trade inside and outside of the country would be fair and safe from bias.
Our founding fathers wrote that looking forward to a country were every person could receive a fair, unbiased trial. Today hundreds of years after that was written we are still trying to achieve an unbiased, fair court. One way to provide that every citizen is ensured justice is to not wait to bring a case to court. The slower police and other government officials the less likely they are to find someone who could affect the outcome of the case. People may also suffer if they are falsely accused. The longer the officials wait to work the more likely the citizens of that place are to lose faith in the government. Defense for all citizens should be provided, in order to ensure justice for every citizen.
In 1954, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down the “separate but equal” doctrine that formed the basis for state-sanctioned discrimination, drawing national and international attention to African Americans’ plight. In the turbulent decade and a half that followed, civil rights activists used nonviolent protest and civil disobedience to bring about change, and the federal government made legislative headway with initiatives such as the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and the Civil Rights Act of 1968.
