AP US History essay question on the Constitution help?

I have to discuss the changes our forefathers made to our government when they developed the Constitution and assess how these changes have impacted our country today.

Basically we're learning about how the delegates changed the Articles of Confederation into a whole new form of government which evolved into the Constitution. So should this be a 5 paragraph essay or 4? You could do one for how it was before, then how they changed it, and how it impacts today. Or you could do the same, but leave out a paragraph about the before. It's supposed to be 2 pages, but I usually write a lot when I type an essay up.

I'm not really sure what to say in the paragraph about it's impact on today. I guess our hard won liberties are something we should be grateful for-freedom of religion, press, speech, right to assemble, etc.

Does anyone have ideas about organizing this? I'm not asking for anyone to do my assignment for me, but I really need to understand how to organize this best to make it the most comprehensive.

Thanks in advance!
