Are you a victim of being conditioned to read only snippets or listen to only soundbites? Can you break that habit and read big chunks -- such as essays, thorough articles, or entire chapters of books at a time?
The US Constitution is only a few pages but over 99.99% of people have never read the entire Constitution. People who won't read longer, more in depth articles or books are victims of their own making.
Hardly. This is supposed to be an essay, a form which has a long literary tradition in English and which has its own rules. If the reader has no clue what an essay is about after four paragraphs, other than that something is Bad, Bad, Bad, that's atrocious writing. This has nothing to do with "conditioning"; on the contrary, this is something that sixth-graders in English Composition class should know.
The Constitution is a legal document rather than an essay, so it's not fair to compare it, but the Declaration gets down to facts in the second paragraph and follows it with factual bullet points.
