Highland Park Fights for Limited Government

Once upon a time many years ago, a group of young and smart men gathered in the town of Highland Park to set up a limited government. All that was agreed on was documented in a constitution. In the constitution they included multiple a amendments, such as the 10th amendment that stated t the stealing of someone else’s property was illegal. E They wanted the new limited government to “secure the bl blessings of liberty” to all citizens. However, there was a King George that ruled the town of Highland Park

The citizens living in Highland Park kept to themselves ec because if they didn’t their voices would never be heard on ce certain decisions. The kings’ government was neither a com complete dictatorship nor parliamentary government although because although he listened to their input he often didn’t all allow them to exercise free rights.

But even after listening to the men plead their case the king didn’t budge.

After being dismissed the group of men feared what privileges the king would revoke now. With the king still not interested in their constitution the group of men decided to get together the following week to see what changes they might add to the agreement to make it more appealing to the king. When the time came the men met together at one of their houses to discuss the changes. However, no one felt that any changes were necessary to the constitution. There was a
