Dear Sir/ Madam:
RE: LETTER TO STAKEHOLDER BASED ON THE HISTORICAL DRAFTING OF THE AMERICAN CONSTITUTION
Drafting of the American Constitution followed liberty from the British colonial rule. It is a political reflection bestowed within both philosophical and economic interdependence and influence. To elaborate on the drafting of the federal constitution, the format of this paper is a letter that takes two parts. First, constitutionalism has given the United States the highest pedestal of sovereignty globally.
Part One: Influence of Political Lenses on Perception of Historical Event
Arrival and settlement of the British in the current American soil is a mastery of historical significance that foregrounds the contemporary political dominance. To understand the significance of the constitution and why it is needed, philosophical and political bigwigs, including George Washington, James Hamilton, James Monroe, and John Adams, foresaw a system where the future will depend on the centrality of a government, as discussed by Amadi et al. (2017). Whether or not it borrows from the colonial masters, the listed iconic leaders perceived the constitution as a sense of unity through a federal government. Thus, a political historian can be interested in evaluating the powers of the executive arm of government by interpreting the provisions of selected mandates of that government as contained in the constitution.
Constitutional changes occur from political policies and changes.

For instance, analysis of political developments in America since the formulation of the Federal Constitution dichotomizes the changes like the adoption of Universal Suffrage in 1947 (Wayne, 2020) and the 2010 adoption of the Affordable Care Act of President Barrack Obama. The two examples are conceptually landmark changes that resulted in the constitutional amendments and impacted people's perceptions about their political regimes.
Telling history by a given qualification of the teller may provide a biased or heightened view about a historical event. For instance, when discussing the factors that led to the drafting of the Federal Constitution, a philosopher would make a greater and influential narrator, as shown by Patapan (2018). In contrast, a political activist may present the same story in a biased way making the perception of the ev...
