Altho' the old idea of a compact between the Govt. & the people be justly exploded, the idea of a compact among those who are parties to a Govt. is a fundamental principle of free Govt.

The whole Progressive enterprise is based on what Madison wanted to be "justly exploded"...how many times has Obama talked as if we have a "social contract"(compact) between the Gov't and the people, rather than among the parties of the people joining to compose the government.

Thanks for your comment. In addition to the erroneous idea you speak of is the likewise false concept that ours is a "democracy." Any student of America's founding ideas understands that the idea of "democracy" was rejected in favor of liberty in a representative republic.

"Progressive" use of semantics, misrepresentation of ideas, and outright censorship of the principles of liberty from the nation's textbooks and public discourse have resulted in voters who are participating in the destruction of freedom for future generations.

For a quick review of those principles and our nation's first 50 years under its Constitution, consult John Quincy Adams' "Jubilee" Address here, or a recent reprint of a 1987 Bicentennial collection of the Founders' principles, here
