The closest to being "vested with powers" is the ability to raise tax revenue.
They raise taxes, coin money, create treaties, and.....wait for it......provide for the common defense.
Once again, your ignorance is on display.
But that is civil responsibility and not really an empowerment of government.
That sentence makes no sense and you don't know history. The Constitution came about because of the articles of confederation and the no-teeth power they had (or didn't have as the case may be.
But John Jay is not one to believe verbatim since it seems he was fine with slavery.
How are the two connected? Please tell me.
You self righteous idiots who have no clue as to what people like James Monroe, Thomas Jefferson, and others gave you through their efforts. Your constant response.....they had slaves.
So what ?
Several races still enslave each other and themselves even in this country and you say nothing about it (being the cluess idiots that you are.
That quote from Jay was from federalist #2 and is an absolute cornerstone of government. If they have no power (as the articles showed) they are no government. You are sounding more and more like an anarchist all he time.
Not to mention being a lousy debater and a true moron.
{... John Jay himself purchased, owned, rented out .........................least 17 slaves during his lifetime. ...}
So what ?
He's still a better man than you, a smarter man than you, and made a bigger contribution than you.
and
manumitted at least 17
Do you know what manumitted means? No. You don't. Look it up jerk-wad.
I do not mind the Founders being a little off since they were used to total royal dictatorships.
Alert !
Alert !
Alert !
Rigby5 is a high school dropout. Only someone that uneducated and stupid would say something as stupid as this.
But they were not experts on law, republics, or government in general.
He was a founder. They studies all kinds of history as they put together the Constitution and debated it. He was then the FIRST CHIEF JUSTICE OF THE SCOTUS. He was then governor of New York.
What he knew about government compared to you is like putting a model rocket next to the Space Shuttle.
Stop wasting our time. You are just making stuff up and lying to prove some asinine point that still hasn't been articulated.
It pains me to see someone write the stupidity you have that demonstrates the lack of thought, the lack of knowledge and the lack of humility you display.
