From: Black Unicorn "If the federal government mixes the recipe with too much power, the checks against tyranny established by the Constitution threaten to topple. It is this that worries me. It is this that worried the framers. Should we dismiss their genius because it is old? Because it did not bear the unanimous mandate of the people?" It is not that the genius or the their document should be dismissed; it is only to understand that written works do not produce automatic effects of their own power, and that therefore the Constitution cannot be looked to by the general population as an automatic savior which will release them from the grip of tyranny. No matter what guidance the original document provides, each generation, each era, each individual must still do the work of thinking, reasoning, and determining their own fate, and they must again agree among themselves whether to accept that contract or reject it. Or improve upon it. The current structure of government is modelled after the Constitution, but the substance of it makes no sense accordingly. If the federal government mixes the recipe with too much power, it is because they want it there and mean to increase it according to a self-benefitting bias towards it. "One must remember that power was surrendered to the federal government by the people and the states conditioned upon limits." Patrick Henry warned everyone that once they had surrendered to it the power of the purse and the power of the sword, there would be no power left to them with which to save themselves from it. So who would be respecting those limits? Blanc
