with rights comes responibilities

they are our ideas

I totally agree with what Jarrett said!

For every right there is a responsibility!

The Constitution is the layout for our government!

If we don't protect the Constitution then we may have a totally different government!

i agree with both jarrett and jo about what they said!

for every right there is a responsibility and if we the people of the united states dont protect the constitution we might as well have a whole different government to live by.

there is a responsibility for every right.

the constitution is still important because the rules still apply but they have changed a litle if any.

i agree with jo about if we dont protect it we might end up with a whole new grovernment!!

I agree with Jarret, Jo, Julia and Natasha

1. A right is what you are allowed to do, and a responsibility is like a rule that you have to follow.

2. It is still important because it is the law.

3. They are our ideas and if we don't protect them then we might as well have never had the Constitution.

i think that when you have rights you have to think about the responisibilitys of the rights for example you can own a gun you just cant shoot someone with it.

And like Jo said the constitution is a layout for the government

And if we dont protect the ideas of the Constitution they could change our rights, and we probably wouldn't be able to hunt or play sports or do anything we can do now.

well rights come with responsiblitities like jerret said and the constitution is still important 220 years from now because the united states still refers to it as our laws.

I agree with Jarrett.
The constitution gives us citizen of he u.s right, & withe rights we have responsibilities.The constitution is so dear to us becaouse it gave us freedom, the most inmportant thing to life is to be free & that's why it has lasted over 220 years.Our responsiblity is to protect our ideas to be free. Without the constitution we could still belong to the British!

(Sorry about Typos is there are any!)

If you have rights there are always responsibilities that are included.

The constitution is still impornant because without it we may not have rights.

The responsibility of the US to protect our rights is to be responcible and not abuse them

they are both things (rules) we have to follow.

they are the orginal laws of this country for around 200 years.

so that we don't change our goverment.

Rights and responsibilities are simimilar because with each right comes a responsibity to follow.

The Constitution is still important for it is a piece of history.
I agree with Colton if we didin't have such a goverment we'd still probably have slaves to.

Both play a big role in our goverment.You use responsibility with rights.

We still use it's system of goverment.

We the people practicly control the goverment so if we don't protect it, the U.S.A will be a disaster.
