Perry’s Constitutional Philosophy



On March 10, 2014 an article was published about Perry’s Constitutional Philosophy on TexasMonthly.com. In my opinion I would say I do not agree with the original argument of the author, which it talks about Perry’s speech at the annual conservative political action conference CPAC regarding send-off the health insurance and education business and look up for other few things. I agree that Perry’s speech was a good one that mentioned a lot of important matters but regarding the constitution terms, there are elastic terms could go on or match the time changing. Regarding the health care, the government should still focus on that matter because it is not like creating a new law and leave the people including the low income ones suffering from the insurance companies, which will give their options that most of them cannot get benefit from it, but only pay monthly fees for coverage. Although the author did not rely on evidentiary support but I think the part of their argument (that did not work) is by suggesting that the elasticity is necessary and important in the constitution. As it should be, but our constitution is elastic, I mean how can America be the greatest country in the world without having a great constitution? I think Washington is focusing for now on the new laws, such as the health insurance, because it is new change, so it still dealing with this law until reaching a perfect situation for all the Americans. A conclusion at the end of this argument is valid and I would assign a mid grade for this argument because although it brought some good points; however, it did not have evidentiary support for what they argue about.
