And there is a reason why it hasn't been tried in the last hundred years, because the Federal papers were mostly penned by 18th century politicians such as Alexander Hamilton. A lot of water has gone under the bridge since that time, and shit has changed drastically worldwide with trading goods throughout the world that didn't pose a problem back then. Many wars have been fought since that time, and enemies have been identified since then that didn't exixt during Hamilton's time. Grow up.....Like fuckin' hell.Classical liberalism a la the founders of this country espouses a small federal government whose only real duties are to defend us from enemies within and without and adjudicate disputes - mostly commercial between the various fifty states. That Ideal has been essentially dead since FDR.
That idea has been essentialy unworkable since the dawn of the 19th century.
It hasn't even been tried in the last hundred years.
