I do get tired of everyone putting words in the minds of our founding fathers, most of which had slaves and sexual relations with them.
But that has nothing to do with the words that """they agreed upon""" some with reservation.
The document that we cherish was a compromise. ...imagine that ....
Besides... MOSSES wrote the constitution.... Right ?

So you are saying that the founding principle of the PEOPLE governing themselves and not being RULED is somehow no longer valid?
You guys are going off the deep end in my opinion.
The founding fathers of the United States were some of the most progressive, intelligent, and science oriented men of their time.
I don't see you guys attacking all the other countries in Europe because they were doing the same exact thing (matter of fact, the Dutch were the premiere slave traders for the world). Or attacking the Egyptians for thousands of years of enslaving Jews.
Look, forget about the prevailing time period and the bad things that took place. There were also some GREAT things that took place.
And one of those great things was a vision of the people in control of govt., not the other way around.
Why on Earth would you guys belittle that and pretend that because it's 2018 that suddenly enduring principles of freedom and liberty are suddenly void?
