Why did the framers think a constitution was necessary to achieve these purposes?

The Framers thought this because:

• England was being a bum

• A Constitution protects basic rights

• And more

A constitution is a written plan that tells how a government should be run and organized. The Framers thought a constitution was necessary to achieve these purposes because without a constitution, we would live in a state of nature( trauma noise) where there is no government or laws. Some people would take away other peoples rights. Our rights to life liberty and property would not be protected. The framers read this from john Locke, a englishman who lived in the 1600s. John Locke said that everyone should make a social contract which is an agreement to make a government and follow its laws.
