People have the freedom, through the Bill of Rights, to choose who they want to lead their nation. They can actually get involved in government and not just be ignored. The articles had the right thoughts in mind, but did not allow people to have a say in government. For example, without the amendments, many of us would not live the free and democratic lives we do today. For example, women weren't even allowed to mention anything having to do with government, and thanks to the Constitution, there is now a Democratic woman running for President of the United States of America..
