How much of John Locke's original Ideas did the founder's use or change?
Why was their a need for the Constitution?
Would the Articles of Confederation eventually work?
Should the Constitution be changed, is it still relevant?
When Exactly did the need arise, to change the Constitution?
Who uses the word Preamble?
If Locke's idea's were so important, then why were things changed?
What about the constitution post bill of rights?
Is this ten yet?
2) I think that my best idea for a report is to go in with The History, touching upon what was taken from Locke, why it was needed, a brief overview of the constitution post-bill of rights, and then perhaps something on it's relevancy today.
3)Now, I need to take what i've written and re-write it in a way that someone that isn't me (ie, someone whose brain works in fractured non sequential nonsense) can understand. Here goes:
What is the Constitution, why did we need it, where did it come from and why is it still relevant today? More or less. That's pretty good.
4) If I need to I have things to take out or add. I took out the whole Post Bill of Rights adjustment to the Constitution, if I need to I can add it back in. I think the topic is pretty much full as it is. Of course the actual research and then the writing process itself will actually tell me the direction that I should be heading in. One of those subconscious things where the writing actually guides you along..
5) I think all some of the links i've already found will help with the more revised topic.

I decided to comment on your blog because we have subjects that are very similar and we might be able to help each other out a lot. Another idea you might want to consider is the impact of the French Revolution on the formation of a United States government and its Constitution. I like how you've added relevancy of the Constitution today into your research question; I will be interested to see what you come up with in that area. I also like how you've brought up how John Locke influenced the Constitution. Perhaps another idea you could use is an in-depth analysis of which things were kept from the Articles and which were abandoned.
Good job!
