Our Undemocratic Constitution

The Age of Enlightenment

Ideas like “government of,  by and for the people”
were ripe to take root in America.

Whatever happened to Common Sense?

Thomas Paine was there at the very beginning of our revolution, but why did he and several other key revolutionary patriots not sign the constitution?

Madison was clear about one thing.

The primary responsibility of government is “to protect the minority of the opulent against the majority,”  James Madison

1,071 yea. 577 nay.

 

Our constitution, our form of government, was established by a mere 1,071 state delegates and only 35 of the 55 convention delegates.

Lincoln

 

Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address is perhaps the best-remembered speech in American history. The Civil War settled a debate that had been brewing since our inception. Not only did it end slavery, but it also brought us together as a people. Because of it, we truly are all Americans.
