Is our fourth of July Independence Day a celebration of our political system?

If so, it has changed considerably from our first Independence Day. We already have 27 amendments to our constitution. Then we have many Supreme Court rulings that have altered our political system in some way.

Some people lament every time the Supreme Court makes a ruling that changes our political system. Some never support amendments. Such people are constitutional purists. They believe that the “word” of the constitution must be upheld.

Other people rejoice when the Supreme Court overturns some Congressional law or regulation, deciding that it is unconstitutional. Some people devote their time and their money to getting amendments past. They believe it is the “intent” of the constitution that must be upheld.

So some people lament every change, while others celebrate. Some people contend that our system is broken, especially during election years. Yet, others are content with our growing, changing political system.

You may be in one of these groups of people, or you may be more in the middle, or you may just not care one way or another. We all have different beliefs, especially about our political system. I believe these differences make us strong.

But they also complicate small business marketing, and that’s another reason why business owners of all sizes need market research. Market segmentation is the market research that best captures differences in people by market segments. It helps business owners to better understand what their target market members believe about politics and other issues. Thus, it improves marketing.

Our political system has changed drastically from the one that our founding fathers envisioned. And it continues to change.

So is our political system what we really celebrate on Independence Day? Is it what you’ll celebrate this fourth of July?
