I meant the country was founded by revolutionaries, as in we were birthed in a Revolution. We celebrate Independence Day, not Constitution Day, as the day of our founding.

It’s hard to say what would have happened to that government if either the South prevailed in the civil war or it had never happened. The South should have had the right to secede under the terms of the constitution. That’s a real big or else baked into the document.

Incorrect.

The Declaration of Independence and the Articles of Confederation and Perpetual Union were written by patriot revolutionaries.

The Constitution was written by lawyers.

@freepatriot That says so much yet so little

it was founded by revolutionaries so 1A and 2A.

There is no "or else" clause anywhere in the Constitution.

Article 1, Section 8 and the 10th amendment should both have an "or else" clause.

But they don't.

Either that was on purpose or it was a horrible oversight.

Either way, the Constitution does not have an actual, written recourse in it for what to do when the Constitution is just ignored by people in government.

Pretty much.

If the Constitution was supposed to keep evil men from usurping power, then it failed and let those men enslave us.

If the Constitution was supposed to let evil men enslave us then it failed to keep us free.

Either way, the American Experiment in limited government was a failure and it's probably time to try something else.

@WilhelmIII @freepatriot The constitution is supposed to be defended by men with militias. Americans are too fat and scared to form them.

@freepatriot

@freepatriot I'd settle for them just not protecting those harmful things we want to remove from our civilization from direct justice by the people.. Quit giving special rights and protected status to every form of evil that can be found, ffs.
