Sorry. The power already did flow from the bottom up. Our independence was won by the whole united body of the people, and the Constitution was ratified by We the People of the United States, which formed one nation, one unified constitutional free republic, under God.

You don’t get to arbitrarily destroy that whenever you want. Especially for wicked, selfish, tyrannical reasons.

“The power already did flow from the bottom up.”

Yes, and it doesn’t stop flowing from there just because we ratified a Constitution. The power always belongs to the people, and they can revoke it any time it pleases them.

“You don’t get to arbitrarily destroy that whenever you want.”

One set of citizens revoking their consent does not “destroy” whatever government the rest of the citizens still wish to be a part of. Your argument is a lame attempt to strip us all of our God-given rights. You basically only agree that we had that right to determine our own form of government one single point in history, and after we used it, we lost it forever.
