How would you compare and contrast the Georgia Constitution and the U.S Constitution?
362653
Set them side by side and read both.\n\nComparing tells how they are alike; contrasting tells how they are different.\n\nIf you have a text book, it should tell you how they are alike or differ, perhaps without reading the whole of both charters.\n\nDoes the Georgia Constitution set up an Executive Branch?  A legislative Branch?  A Judicial Branch?  Does it give the duties of each, how they are elected or appointed, and length of terms?  Does it include amendments added to it?  These are all things that the US Constitution has/does.  Look closer, at each document, for more (and more specific) likenesses and differences.\n\nPeace.\n\n:)

A law designing to allow individual states to ignore gay marriages allowed by another state.  Normally, the Constitution requires that one state recognize the legality of the laws of another state, so that if you are married in Texas you are married in Alabama, etc.  The "protection of marriage" act siad that if, e.g., Massachusetts allows gay marriages, it is ok for Georgis to say the marriage is not valid in Georgia.\n\nIt remains to be seen if the Act is Constitutional.

No.  The whole Constitution was a compromise between the large states, like Virginia, and New York, and the small states like Rhode Island.  \nWe probably should have stuck with the Articles of Confederation.

The first & most amazing difference is when the Preambles were written.The United States was ratified in 1788 & has never changed. India's was ratified in 1950. Canada's was ratified in 1980. The United States says ( every American should be able to repeat it - I have taught it to many soon to be Eagle Scouts)\n" We, the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquality, provide for Common Defense, promote the General Welfare and secure the Blessing of Liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this constititution of the United States of America."\nOurs was written before the Liberals had influence, so it is pretty straight forward. They left the constitution to give details & we have never changed the Preamble.\n\nThe India talks of Justice, economic, political, liberty of thought, expression,belief, faith and worship. Equality of status, opportunity, assuring dignity of individual.  \nThey were trying to end the caste system - not successful as yet.\nHope they become successful.\n\n\nThe Canadian \n1- With help from God be free & self governing\n2- French & English chose to live together\n3- One country founded on Democratic foundation\n4- English & French langauge are official language  (pick a language - any language)\n5- Basic civil, human & language rights ( they have a language issue)\n6-Authority of Provinces\n7- Parliment's only purpose is to give happiness, fulfullment to each & all of us. ( this is bad reason for a law making division of goverment - you can not make everyone happy except in a 60's drug flashback)

The constitution is the basis for all law in the United States

If this is for an essay and you have time for research then you use a treatise on constitutional law. There are also resources online.\n\nThe US Supreme Court rules on the federal constitution. State supreme courts (in NYS the Court of Appeals -- their supreme court is the lowest court of general jurisdiction, following English practice) rule on state constitutions. Here's an example where a state law on double jeopardy was stricter than the federal rule: http://www.uniset.ca/naty/maternity/192P2d449.htm (in federal practice, two different sovereigns can prosecute the same offense, California law (only) is different).\n\nCiting a US Supreme Court case is easy. You go to http://www.lexisone.com (free registration required) or to http://justia.us (uses Google searching rules which may be more familiar to you) and you look for what you want -- key words, etc. Supreme Court cases are cited in the pattern "Smith v. Jones, 123 U.S. 456 (19XX)".\n\nMost Supreme Court constitutional law cases are famous: Roe v. Wade (abortion), Loving v. Viriginia (miscegenation), Lawrence v. Texas (sodomy), Miranda v. Arizona (right to warnings upon arrest), Gideon v. Wainwright (right to counsel). And so on.

I believe the most accurate answer would be that the United States has what is currently the longest running constitution in the world, marking 219 years this coming Sept. 17. \n\nActually, many consider the U.S. Constitution the world's first constitution, setting up very defined rules of how government was to be established and rules defining its method of operation. But, as an earlier respondent mentioned, many past groups, such as native American tribes and even the Romans, Greeks, Egyptians, Sumarians and others had codified agreements on how ruling was to be done that could liberally be called constitutions ... even if those rules did revolve around forms of monarchs that, in the end, had absolute power in all matters. But since none of those groups (expept perhaps the Greeks and Egyptians) could be currently said to exist in a formally defined and internationally recognized nation, any long term streaks under those "constitutions" would not be current.
