Good point. I just don't understand loving a concept that entitles itself by force to half or more of your life's work.
The United States constitution is one of the most beautiful pieces of writing that has done more than any other piece of paper to guarantee freedoms. The majority of politicians are treasonous kleptocrats and I despite them. However, I love my country and I’m grateful to be a US citizen. Few things more American than loving your country but despising your leaders.
I have issue with these statements and here's why. I don't think what I say here can really be argued, because I'm only leaving out idolizing words like "founding fathers".
The Constitution was a giant centralizing power grab by the Bill Gateses of the time. It had theft (tax) and a monopoly on money written right into it. The beautiful part was the Bill of Rights added to appease the anti-federalists who rightly saw the danger.
The circumstances that produced the Constitution are suspect, to increase power to quash dissent: two rebellions Whiskey and Shay, come to mind, and were they organic or served a purpose to galvanize the creation of a centralizing power?
From my understanding the monopoly on money came in 1913 with the creation of the Fed by Woodrow Wilson. There was a lot of contentious debates about should the US have a central bank and one could argue we have had 5 defaults in our history which to be fair probably relate to us creating a constitution which did end up bringing together 50 decentralized states under the control of one federal government over the course of our countries history. However, the 1st and 2nd amendments have been a tremendous force in helping decentralize power. I’m planning on reading the federalist papers soon. I have the hardback book but working through some other books right now. I am not familiar with the whiskey and Shay rebellions. Please do tell more I enjoy learning about US history🇺🇸🫡🤝
