The Cheeseburger Analogy of the


All articles of the constitution can be thought
of as a cheeseburger and its restaurant.
Each article is a part of the burger or the
restaurant.
The preamble to the constitution is like the slogan of the restaurant. At Jack in the box,
their slogan is “we don’t make it till you order it.” Their promise is that all their food is
made fresh and never left out under a heat lamp. The preamble works just like this. It
says what the constitution’s main point is and what it aims to do for Americans.
The top bun represents the Senate, which is the
upper house. The lower bun represents the
Congress, which basically prevents the burger
from falling over. Similar to the actual function
of the Congress itself, where it prevents the
other parts of the government from falling over
as well.

Section 1
This section is about the electoral college.
Representation of the electoral college is the
franchise model which chooses to vote to
either make, for example, burgers OR sub
sandwiches.


Section 2
This section is about the military branches.
Pickles, onions, tomatoes, and lettuce
represent these branches.


Section 3
This section is about the president, which is
represented by the patty. The president’s job
is to inform the congress/state of union and
to decide on what type of burger it can be.
When the president informs the congress, in
such cases when involving the burger, the
people informed decides whether or not the
burger is well-done.

While the executive branch is represented by
decisions upon what type of cheese the
burger may have and what type of burger it
can be, the judicial branch is the cheese itself
where it interprets the laws. It basically adds
flavor to the burger.

This article describes the U.S. as a whole, and
what functions the states provide.


Section 1
States have to prove if the “order” is wrong.
(as in the food that is ordered by the people)


Section 2
The states must consider themselves first
(privileges must be considered in their states
first). Especially when it involves crimes like
when a person is charged with treason. As
such, whatever state McDonald’s is located is
the state that they are responsible for
providing services.


Section 3
McDonald’s is open to everyone and are not
allowed to deny you service. Same goes for
the organizations/governments/state/etc.


Section 4
The building of the restaurant of the burger,
like McDonald’s, represents United States as
a whole. Customers are considered as the
people and the burger is the service provided.
In similarity, the building is protection against
unwanted guests, like roaches, while the U.S.
is suppose to provide services such as
protection to protect its people from any
outside threat.


Is the agreement on ratification or change of
the constitution.
Two-thirds of the restaurant must agree to
ratify, or change, the burger itself. Same as
the two-thirds agreement on ratification of
the constitution.


If there were to be a mistake on the
constitution, it is the responsibility of the
government to fix it.
Similar when it comes to food in a restaurant.
If there is a mistake on the burger, it is the
responsibility of the restaurant to fix it, where
in this case the customer gets another burger
for free.


This section states that the constitution can
be ratified.
Just as the $1 Double cheeseburger at
McDonalds has been changed into a one
dollar mcdouble and an over one dollar
double cheeseburger, the constitution burger
can also be changed to fit the needs of the
government and the people.
