We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union,

establish justice, ensure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense,

promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity,

do ordain and establish this constitution for the United States of America.

In 1776, the United States declared its independence

Then it won the Revolutionary War King George couldn't tell him what to do anymore

So who would tell Americans what to do And lead the new country?

Someone had to After all, this is how most countries work Where a king, or a queen, or an emperor

Is the big boss calling all the shots They had more wealth

and power than the people by a lot But America's founding fathers didn't roll like that All that power led to tyranny,

I don't think you're hearing me See for a king it was too easy for them to mistreat people

and act sleazy That's not leadership,

that is hypocrisy So Americans wanted to try democracy They thought people should govern themselves Would it work?

Could it work?

Well, the founding fathers weren't sure But they thought they'd have a chance

if they went to work to work with a well thought out set of rules for government

that everyone thought was cool so they came up with a solution and made the United States Constitution We the people,

run our own government Here there's no kings

or queens running it We're following the law of the land Laid out in the constitution so understand We the people, run our own government

If there's no kings or queens running it We're following the law of the land Laid out in the constitution,

that's the plan One of the constitution's fundamental functions Is to

spread power evenly to prevent corruption See the founding fathers took no chances

So they split the government up into three branches The legislative branch, that includes congress They make the laws,

yep, that's what their job is The executive branch, the president and their staff They carry out the laws on the people's behalf And the judicial branch,

which includes the Supreme Court They interpret the laws to make sure they're in accordance with the Constitution

Which includes checks and balances Rules that prevent a branch from gaining too much power In addition to that,

the Constitution guarantees The rights that we have like freedom of speech The freedom of assembly and the right to vote

There's a whole lot more

if you'd like to know Not to mention there are rules for how it can be amended

or changed Over the years there's been lots of things Like enslavement,

which used to be legal But that was changed by the will of the people With the 13th Amendment in 1865

Without change the Constitution couldn't survive And it needs citizens to be the guide The document of democracy,

America's pride We the people, run our own government

Here there's no kings or queens running it We're following the law of the land Laid out in the constitution, so understand We the people,

run our own government Here there's no kings

or queens running it We're following the law of the land Laid out in the constitution, that's the plan

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由

シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
