the bill of rights...that was drafted 100 years before slavery ended?ROFL.

No. We should let the elites run the whole show. Why give he peons an opinion?

The state theory as you interpret it actually ended when they drafted the constitution.

What youre talking about. Is the confederacy which was the previous form of government.

The argument the confederate states argued. They seceded and called themselves the confederacy.

"The American people are not "intelligent"

Identity projection?

[AmanJohnX]

@ZhugeNaut Sure, Identity projection, if that's what you want to believe =) Anyways, you're a little off on the motivations behind the confederacy and all the intricacies of federalism...it's really not that hard to learn - check out the book "The Founding of the Democratic Republic" and read EXACTLY for yourself what the dudes who wrote the constitution said.

[AmanJohnX]

@ZhugeNaut The Founders knew that without the slavery, the south would never ratify, even though all the founders, being proponents of natural law, had ethical qualms against slavery...all of which were actively against it to the best of their circumstances....some, such as John Adams directly thru legal means in NY state...anyways, they realized it was a sad reality that would fade over time...and it did. Nothing is what it seems, don't be so trite about slavery.

funny a lot of this is what Ron Paul stands for Ron Paul 2012!!!!!!!

[AmanJohnX]

@constitutionalswager Well, Ron Paul and I both studied political philosophy....like REAL political philosophy as in state of nature theories where you start from 0 people, and ask a million ethical questions until you have a full society built on ethics....the founding fathers did this as well, but in a MUCH more pragmatic way....Ron Paul is a man of reason....so was Socrates, and Jesus, and George Washington...notice a trend? =)

@AmanJohnX What I wish to study is the presentment of "complex" material, such as politics (complex is obviously subjective), and find a way to keep the core concepts intact while explaining the material to the masses (Plebeians). I want to do it better than everyone else (not just make a claim and expect people to hear me out, but draw them somehow, perhaps the incitement of them or bringing up a point that attacks common misconceptions about the topic). I find you are excellent with this.

But where are these representatives who are willing to deny themselves power and popularity going to come from in this generation? The people that could serve in the manner you're describing would be hated and reviled for standing up and speaking out for self denial and altruism. At least, for what it's worth, that's the way I see it. I wouldn't mind seeing you run for a seat :D

@AmanJohnX as a canadian citizen, I am glad Obama is in power because in here it give a good image of what title black smart people is in title to have if they work there way up.. maybe you just a plain pariote that just want power of your own state but Obama has what it take to rule your country he is good looking..lol and smart better then yourself?

[Amatullah83]

I like him too.

So essentially, your saying that we should go back to the original form similar to the Confederation? I can agree to that to an Extent, I feel that people should actually pay more attention to this stuff.

@abnormal4 It changed for political reasons. I don't know for sure how well the system worked previously but I do know that the change that was made wasn't made for the right reasons. It was to ensure that our newly formed (at the time) two party system could remain a two party system. Since it was noted that the people tended to favor Democrats and Republicans the voting was changed so that primarily Democrats and Republicans could get and retain office.

[abnormal4]

At first when I read the title I was going to say that people need to have a say in there government system, but now I understand how we can still do that without voting, but now I don't understand why the voting system changed so much. If the original system worked and was the right way to vote then why did it change? and how can people who don't know anything about government change the system back?

so if every state has it's own needs, what's the point of unifing as a country? why doesn't each state just become a country and as it pleases? what is so important about a central government? is it money? to have more of it so there is a stronger economy?
