It is my understanding that only Germany and Luxembourg still capitalize all nouns. Can someone explain to me why we did this seemingly randomly in the U.S. for 150 years, but never before and never after? One example of many from the Declaration of Independence: "He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures."

It's even worse in the Constitution. All this weird capitalization seemed to go away by the 19th century. "The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof; but the Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations, except as to the Places of chusing Senators."
