The article by Robert Dahl basically summarizes the fact that the Founding Fathers of the American Constitution were apparent in their ignorance while creating the Constitution to the US. He then veers off to suggest that the American constitution was a result of the lack of pre-existing constitutions which were ideal and suitable for the America population. While many were fond of the British constitution – it was deemed unimportant to the needs of a newly emerged nation such as America. Similarly, the Venetian and Roman Republics failed to provide the mould based upon which the US constitution could be formulated (Dahl, 2021). The next article by Ganesh Sitaraman points out how the Founding Fathers did not intend for the Constitution to be built for a nation which now has a vehemently visible disparity of wealth (Sitaraman, 2017).
