another good way to realize that maybe the founders didn't have everything figured out is to read some of their best writing, like the several federalist papers where Madison was convinced that congress would never allow a standing army

Joementum posted:Ratification: The People Debate the Constitution by Pauline Maier. Spoiler alert: some of the arguments advanced in favor of provisions in the constitution were idiotic. For example, the Maine and South Carolina delegations got into a fight over basing taxation on population because the Mainers were convinced that the cold weather made them live longer and have fewer children while everyone in the South died at age 40. i didnt think the maine district had much sway back then

hm, you know, that makes me think about the perspective from which dredd scott was ruled on: it was a case about voting rights, namely, the right of southern states to have adequate representation when your 3/5ths of a vote in the house runs up north and becomes 1 vote, what are you gonna do?!?!?! more votes are created than are destroyed that way! its just not fair! ps down with dixie, death to the confederacy. YALL FUCKN LOST THE WAR QUIT BEGGING US NORTHERN FOLK TO PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR LONG HERITAGE OF BEING HUGEASS PUSSY LOSERS e: i caughed and some earwax flew out. i didnt know i could do that

ThirdPartyView posted:The Apotheosis of Washington is funnier than the Bioshock Infinite portrayal of him. Nah, "Apotheosis" doesn't have an animatronic Washington saying racist things; "Bioshock: Infinite" does, and it's one of the funniest drat things I've ever seen in a game. Such an amazingly good game. I wish the "Burial at Sea" expansions weren't so bad.
