Unit 9 “A More Perfect Union”

The document they produced was eventually signed but ultimately unfinished.

P1: After heated debate and compromises, the Constitution was finally adopted by the Constitutional Convention and 39 out of 55 delegates signed the document. But the “three-fifths” clause and the twenty years allowed for the slave trade showed the slave issue was not solved, so the process of forming a more perfect union did not end with the enforcement of the Constitution.

But it also comes from my own story.

P2: My personal background and my success story, rising from rags to riches, also teaches me the importance of unity.

But it is a story that has seared into my genetic makeup the idea that this nation is more than the sum of its part-that out of many, we are truly one.

P3: I am deeply ingrained, through my experience in the United States, with the idea that America is not a total of adding everything together but is the product of fusion, of sharing the same creed.

Throughout the first year of this campaign, against all predictions to the contrary, we saw how hungry the American people were for this message of unity.

P4: In spite of all announcements that America was not ready for a black president, that I would fail in the campaign, we gained momentum in the first year of the campaign, which showed that the American people demanded unity and change.

Despite the temptation to view my candidacy through a purely racial lens, we won commanding victories in states with some of the whitest populations in the country.

P5: People were encouraged to judge me from the perspective of a black candidate, raising the question of whether the United State would fare better with a black president. However, we won great victories even in some of the more conservative states, with stronger racial bias.

We saw racial tensions bubble to the surface during the week before the South Carolina primary.

P6: The week before the Democrats were to select their delegates to the national convention in South Carolina, attacks on me, on blacks became more frequent, more intense.

On one end of the spectrum, we’ve heard the implication that my candidacy is somehow an exercise in affirmative action; that it’s based solely on desire of wide-eyed liberals to purchase racial reconciliation on the cheap.

P7: At one end of the entire range of opinion, there are people who say that I decided to run because I wanted to show black and white should have equal opportunity and I wanted to play on the desires of naïve liberals to achieve racial harmony without making great effort.

I can no more disown him than I can disown the black community.
