ReplyDelete2. Constitution means a statement for something that is being governed
3. An occasion that i have celebrated would be my birthday. I also celebrate Christmas, Easter, and Thanksgiving.
4. For celebration the constitution is remembering what it states and why we have freedom. It says for being young and not old is because it applies to everyone that is new to it. Therefore it means that it did not just apply to the people who were alive when it was written, it applies to every American forever.

2. rules everyone must follow
3. a time I celebrated an event was my birthday. A birthday is celebrated for being in the world or a certain amount of years. You have cake, presents friends and family when you celebrate it.
4. Celebrating the constitution for being young instead of old. Ronald Reagen was trying to say that this is country isn't old, compared to china and other ancient civilizations. U.S.A is still a growing country, and the constitution will always apply even if it was made hundreds of years ago. Celebrating it as if it were new would make it seem like it is something recent and everyone should follow the rules.

3. Every year my family celebrates Christmas. It is a very loving holiday because it brings families closer together. Every ones houses are warm and inviting. You get to visit with relatives you don't see very often. Christmas is usually very social. You are very thankful for your family.
4. What this sentence is really saying is that we should celebrate or constitution because that is why we have the rights and freedom we have today. It says for being young instead of old; basically what its saying is that the constitution made a long time ago gave us the rights we have today. So even though it's old, the freedom that it's giving us is still new. So for an example lets say you give your mom a picture of her and you. Ten years later when she looks back at that picture she is going to remember all the great memories behind it. To her it isn't old because the memories still live on even though the picture is old.

3. Ever year my family and some friends go up north. We go on our boats and celebrate the 4th of July out on the water of Higgins Lake. After we go and set of lots of fireworks and have a good time. Even the following day we continue to celebrate almost making it a weekend of parting.
4. Celebrate the times of the constitution being made or developed. It is referred as young because even though it's an old document what it talks about is still true to this day. All in which it is represented as is what are country is and will forever be. Something isn't old by its looks but by what its message is. Nothing can be old if it's still true now as it has been before.

3. I celebrate my birthday every year with my friends and family. I open gifts, we eat cake, watch movies. A birthday should be celebrated because you only have one birthday every year.
4. Celebrating the Constitution means to celebrate something new, not old. You would want to celebrate the Constitution when it's young or new. If you wait until it's old, it won't mean as much to people as for when something is brand new. For an example, people have baby showers for their newborn babies, they don't wait until the baby is all grown up to have a baby shower. Also, celebrating something new means that people will remember this forever, even when it's old.

3. I've celebrated many holiday's but every year, Christmas is the most celebrated holiday for my family. We visit both of our grandparents, decorate our house and our church usually puts on a play. The reason my family celebrates Christmas is because that is known as the birthday of Jesus, which is Important to us because that is a big part of our religion. Things are celebrated as Important as they are to the person who celebrates it.
4. My Idea is that we celebrate the Constitution is because it was the formation of our government when it was first formed. This was our laws after our trend of following Britain faded away after our revolt. This document could be considered new since even if the Constitution has been made a long time ago, the law of it still holds our country today. Today, we have a Judicial branch of government that is committed to keeping any law the president constitutional. This is how I feel about the government and life we had when the Constitution was formed.

3.I celebrate almost every holiday known in Michigan. The holiday my family celebrates the most in Christmas. Christmas Eve my whole family goes to my grandmas and we have dinner there and open some presents, then Christmas morning my sisters and their kids come over and we eat some frosted cookies, and have breakfast, and open more presents.
4.Celebrating Constitution means celebrating something new, instead of the old. No matter how old something is, it doesn't matter. New things happen, and they are worth celebrating for. The constitution was made a long time ago, but still today we follow the constitution. Life is too short to sit around, doing nothing. Have fun while you can, celebrate things while you can, live your life while you can.

4.Celebrated the Constitution is important. It is a special moment in us history and should be celebrated. When they say for being young there saying that it will be in our history and are life forever. When you would say its old it is but it will still be here. the Constitution is very important and should always be celebrated no matter what.

I also celebrate Christmas with my grandparents. We have dinner together and open presents. Christmas is my favorite thing to celebrate because I get to see family members I haven't seen in awhile.
4. To celebrate the Constitution means to celebrate when America became free from the British. It's when we became a country. Even though the Constitution is old, we are young compared to our country. We are celebrating all of the wars we have won and all of the people who have lost their lives to make us free. Celebrating the Constitution is celebrating our life we have. We are young and still have the rest of our lives to live.

3. One occasion that me and my family celebrate is Christmas. Me and my family are Christians and we believe that Christmas is the birth day for Jesus Christ. Seeing as my parents are divorced I get double the gift and i get to visit with both sides of my family. At my dads we go to a family party and we open gifts that our relatives got us. Then the next day me and my dad open presents at home and then I go to my moms and open even more presents. Christmas is the biggest holiday celebrated in my family.
4. When they said the were celebrating the constitution for being young not old they meant that they were celebrating their new found freedom and new laws that they created themselves and not the king. It was young and new and something that they could be happy about. They were disconnected from the rule of Britain and it was such a relief to them. That is why they celebrated about the constitution.

4. We celebrate the Constitution because our government set up laws and rights that every American has. We celebrate it when it's young and knew.

We celebrate the Constitution as a way to show our dedication to our United States.

3. A time I celebrated a special occasion or event would be a birthday. When I turned 10 I had a sleepover at Castaway Cafe. I invited most of my soccer team and other friends. We were celebrating me turning another year older which in a sense can be both bad and good.
4. To celebrate the Constitution means to celebrate what your composition or what your made up of. The quote states "not for being old, but for being young." Being old is said to make you wiser.Younger people are also very wise in a sense, learning from mistakes and taking risks. What makes you up is your constitution. When your young you are figuring out what it will be like when your older.

4. Celebrating the constitution is like celebrating freedom. For being young instead of old, witch means that the constitution gave us rights along time ago. Even that its old its new to us and still true. Like if you gave a present to someone special to you and you put it away for a couple years it will still be new to there heart. Also it will give memories from the past.

3. Every year my family celebrates Christmas. We wake up very early and gather around the Christmas tree. Then my mom and dad watch as my sister and I open presents. It is very exciting when you get something you have been wanting.Then we give my parents their presents and watch them open the presents.
4. What it means by celebrating the constitution is to praise them for the laws and right that were written. If there weren't a constitution we wouldn't have any laws. For being young means celebrate it for the laws we still use today. I believe that it should be celebrated every year for what it has gave us today.That is what I think it means to celebrate the constitution.

4. The country celebrates the constitution because it is the sole thing that binds our country together. We celebrate it being a young country because the country is reborn with every new year. New people, new plants, new animals, everything is reborn in the country. The land will always be old, but the country will be forever young.

3. I have celebrated many special occasions over the years but the best one was Christmas because you get a lot of gifts from everybody that comes and after you open all of the gifts you get to go outside and play in the snow (if you are somewhere where it snows). Like last christmas my family and I were on a cruise so we couldn't play in the snow. The reason why I like the Holiday Christmas is because of the time of the year like the SNOW. If i could i would have it snow for half of the year and the other have sun.
4. When they say we are celebrating the constitution they are saying we are celebrating that something as new not old. For example my great grandpa was 100 years old and we considered him young not old. If you consider someone old when they aren't then you will hurt their feelings and you don't want that so consider people young not old.

3. I celebrated the Forth of July. My family and Friends come over and we eat food, like burgers, potato salad and much more. The we have a bonfire and lite off fireworks. The Forth of July is a lot of fun.
4. Celebrating the Constitution is celebrating that we have our own government away from Britain. The "Constitution" was "Being young" instead of "Being old" because the constitution made up our government and it hasn't really changed. The Constitution tells us how the government is ran. The government is still current and means the constitution's is still working like normal. The only thing that really changed is the the amount of states. The constitution is young because it is still used today.

4. It means we have to celebrate the creation of our country's rules. Its young instead of old because we are a young country compared to England or other countries. The constitution is being celebrated for being young because its a new set of rules and they will never leave, the rules will always stay. It's not old because it still has much longer to go. That's why the constitution is young not old.

For being young instead of being old means that it may have been made 200 years ago, but it still keeps America running. Also all the branches of the American government run around the Constitution. It can also mean that even though it was made a long time ago, we still follow the laws today. This also says this document is a big part of us becoming a country.

The Constitution may be amended, but seeing as how we follow the laws or use or rights everyday it doesn't age. The actual document may age, but the ideas and rights will never tarnish. Right now, we're using our freedom to assemble in the Occupy Wall Street protest, and the others that are spawning around the country. Including the Occupy Detroit protest.

3. A time I celebrated an event was my birthday party on July 29, just this past summer. I had 7 friends come over and spend the night. We watched scary movies, made hot fudge sundaes, and even went to Bishop Lake. All of us had fun and we ate lots of cake and ice cream. I celebrate my birthday every year but this was one of the funniest parties ever!
4. To celebrate the constitution means honor the day our laws were made. We say young instead of old, because we still use them today and they are used by everyone old or young. Also, when somebody in my family has a birthday we say they are years young, not years old. We make it feel like they are up to date and "cool" like the younger people. Everybody wants to be young so we need to make the constitution as if all the laws and regulations are up to date. We also are honoring who we are and what we are made of. If we can't be greatful for that, we don't have much more. Freedom, character, and constitution is what makes us!

3. A time when i celebrated a event is when the Fourth of July this summer. My family and I went up north and hung out for a few days.When the night of Fourth of July came we all went to the park nearby and watched the fireworks.It was special because being with family on the Fourth of July reminds you that The Fourth is why you can be with family.
4. Celebrating the constitution means to make the best out of the privileges it gives us and not to take those privileges for granted.The constitution being forever young means that it is something that everyone still has a tie to,the meaning will always have a new light shined on it.It will always be with us and find new ways to apply as time goes on.

Also I it is a happy holiday because it is reassuring that Christ died on the cross for our sins.

4. Celebrating the constitution means that you should be happy your free because we are one of very few countries that are. If we have something a couple BILLION people don't, than we should be happy we have it and show off. Celebrating "being young and not old" means that usually younger people have more fun, and we should promote happiness, optimism, and dreaming big because that's what makes us motivated to create and invent, dreams. Also, the young people will someday be old and they will run the country, while the new young people go have fun and dream big. Thus, happiness will never burn out if we don't let it, and it will be a big circle going around and around until the end of time.

We celebrate for being young instead of being old because The U.S. will be here for a long time and there are many years to come that it will still be here. We don't celebrate for being old because the U.S. hasn't been here for too long, we have many more years to go until America can be called "old".

3. We've celebrated my birthday. And also Christmas, Easter, and Thanksgiving. They are all very happy holidays.
4. I think we celebrate it because it was the formation of the U.S. government. For being young and not old is that our country isn't old. The old already know about it. These laws were passed after Britain's rule over us was gone. What Ronald Reagan meant by saying "for being young" instead of "being old" was that our country wasn't old. That is what I think it means.

ReplyDelete2. It means that you can celebrate life and freedom with out getting in trouble or being wrong for what you did.
3. The time I celebrated was when my friend got home from the hospital from having cancer and surving from it. We had to plan it a day before she came home so when she got there it would be ready. We had all of are friends and family there at the party. We got her a cake and presents for when she got home. When she walk through her door we all said, "SURPRISE!!" She was so surprised that I threw her a welcome home party just for her. She was crying and would not let go of me. She was so happy that I did that for her. She told me if I had cancer she would of done it the same way as I did.
4. It means to us young people that it is hard for them back then and it is hard for them is this time being. For us right now it is quite easy because we don't have to do taxes or balance checks or anything like that. It is hard for the older people because they have to get up in the morning and go to work until who knows what time. Then they have to come home and do taxes or balance there check books. We as kids don't have to go to work on the weekends we get to sleep in until noon. As for are parents try to live in there shoes it would be even harder then what you think.

3. I remember celebrating my first communion with all of my friends around. It was the proof that I was a member of the church. At first I had to sit through a 2 hour mass but it was all worth it in the end. And i am grateful that my parents have put me through religious ed. This year is actually the year i am graduating.
4. Celebrating the constitution should be a big event. If it wasn't for it our lives would not be the same today. And the saying "celebrated not for being old, but for being young" is a thought saying. Yes it may be and old paper but the laws made us who we are and made us feel young. Our country may be old but our hearts make it feel young.

4. Celebrating the constitution is a great thing. We celebrate our freedom and the right Government instead of tyranny over the states. It is young in the sense that it is still forming.

4. I think it means celebrate a birthday for the constitution. It might be having a birthday party for the constitution because we celebrate. Being young is were you can do a lot of more things then people can do that are older. People that are older have a harder time for what younger people can do.

4. Because you want to live life like you are young. If you live it like you are old, you won't be able to do much. If you say you are young you we most likely push yourself and have fun doing things. If you say your old you won't do much and just sit around and do nothing.

3. Every year, we celebrate Independence Day, otherwise known as the 4th of July. On this day we celebrate the people who made this country into what it is today. We will never forget the people wh did what they did and who lost their lives for this country.
4. For people today it is easier than what it was back then. It is easy for us because we have ben use to this for years while we evolve. We are use to taxes unlike the colonists from back then when taxing first came into action. I would be a lot harder for people today to go back to what they were in the past. They would think that their would be something that could do that for them. If we had to live like people did in the past, we wouldn't know what to do with ourselves.

4.) To celebrate the constitution is to be thankful for what our soldiers did to make us free and give us rights. When they say "to be young" is that it just started and it will go on and on, so its young and later, like a couple of thousands of years we will start to get old! We are a young country compared to all the other countries in this world and so there for were not old. We are a very young country and we should appreciate everything our people, and soldiers did for us, to make is FREE!

3. I've celebrated lots of events. I've done many from birthday party's, to sports parties. My favorite one was probably my u11 baseball party. We had a pretty good season and after all was done, we had a part. They had all sorts of foods and games. It was rainy and chilly, but that didn't stop us boys from going swimming. We're were in the pool until dark. We came in, everyone was talking and eating. I must have had 40 pieces of chicken! After that, we all thanked out coaches and went on our way.
4.To celebrate the constitution means to do all the things you can do. All the people probably started doing what they wanted. To be young means it was just created. They hadn't had it that long so it couldn't be old.

4. It is saying that we should celebrate being young because you don't have to pay taxes, you don't have to go to work, and you don/t have to take care of other people. While when your young your parents help you with stuff and basically do everything for you. Also, when your young you can do a lot more things then adults.

Me and my teammates were jumping around because the bell went off and we won! We went over and were making fun of the other team to.
4. It means that we should celebrate how our constitution is still here. So it is young not old. So we should celebrate the fact that the principles that our nation was conceived upon.
Those things are freedom and liberty. In summary we should be celebrating the fact that we are still a nation of freedom and liberty.

If we don't learn it until we get old we wouldn't learn as much and not be able to tell our family what this is all about. Because we are young we can learn more about what this country was like and have more experience like I said. Overall it was really hard to make this country what it is today and we should embrace it and celebrate it.

4. to me Celebrating the constitution means that you should be happy your free because we are one of very few countries that are free. If we have something a couple trillion people don't, than we should be happy we have it and show off. Celebrating "being young and not old" means that usually younger people have more fun, and we should promote happiness, optimism, and dreaming big because that's what makes us motivated to create and invent, dreams. Also, the young people will someday be old and they will run the country, while the new young people go have fun and dream big. Thus, happiness will never burn out if we don't let it, and it will be a big circle going around and around until the end of time.

4. We should celebrate the Constitution because it is the foundation of what we can and cannot do in our government. It should be celebrated not because of how old it is, but for how young it is. We were under the rule of Britain for far too long, and when we realized it, we realized that we should have gained freedom long ago. It was a long, hard battle, but it was worth it, and our Constitution is younger than it should be, for we should have realized it earlier that we needed independence.

It doesn't matter on when it happened and how long ago, its about our country and that is not going to change.
