Of course under the Articles of Confederation people's property was far more secure than under the Constitution.
Agreed. I place the blame for that on Hamilton, who purposely misled.
And since he was one of the principle architects of the Constitution what does that say about the Constitution itself? In my mind it says that the Constitution is powerless to limit the government, and must therefore be abandoned.
You abandon it now, and Anarchy will result, followed by Totalitarian Rule. Consider the two Hamilton's, Pre Ratification and Post Ratification. If we Steer towards what was presented in the Federalist Papers, and away from Unlimited Powers, we have something concrete to build on. Enumerated Powers, Limited General Welfare Powers, by consent and due process for starters. # Equal Independent Branches of the Federal Government, with Judicial Review limited to clarifying circumstances by connecting the dots that are actually there, not creating Dots to connect. No constructive Power without consent and due process. Enforcing States Rights, while protecting Each Citizens Unalienable Rights.
