"We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness—-That to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed, that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these Ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its Foundation on such Principles, and organizing its Powers in such Form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness." Re-read that very carefully before proceeding. If you, like I, believe that our current government is destructive, you may also believe that we don't have to alter the Constitution. Rather, we should dust it off and try again to follow it. And no, the Constitution did not create slavery or even tolerate it. Nor did it deny women or any persons of any race or religion the right to vote. Those were the product of a government that was an imperfect implementation of the Constitution.

Once again, Hanson isn't wrong.

Our federal government, as well as many of the state governments have willfully pushedthe Constitution and the respective state Constitutions aside for 'democracy'.
