Bill,
I think is extremely important to be familiar with those documents. What
I am having difficulty doing is, however, referring to these documents
and certain articles within those documents to determine course of
action when on any other day those same documents are criticized
effortlessly because of the nature of their construction.

In a time when war threatens the world, it may sound justified to
examine these documents and pledge allegience to upholding the
regulations dictated in them, but does that make us people who use
such documents to enforce personal ideologies. Situated ourselves
historically should also involve examining how and why certain articles
were constructed and how and why they are being challenged,
questioned, and maybe even trampled on today.
