The Founding Fathers didn't depend on the voting booth nor on majority rule, did they? At least not until it was time to draw up Articles of Confederation and the Constitution.

But that was whole other time, in which force of arms overcame the Rule of Law for the greater good.

They did, but at the time that was the British Parliament.

The problem was a Parliament that became increasingly intrusive and punitive towards the colonists, especially after depending on those colonists during the French and Indian War, and then taxing them heavily to pay off their war debt.

Kind of like what's happening right now. So why send someone back who has already proven to be punitive towards those he depends upon? He's just going to side with the others who think a bigger government is needed to pay off their accumulated debts.
