That everyone would have the equal rights that other maybe richer people had. The new laws made helped out the government in so many ways.Q5) what its strengths and weaknesses wereThere was many strengths and weakness to the constitution. For example due to the new changes for the constitution many people were treated equally and there were some cases that the people that some of the people in that city became happy with the results of the new laws.
