When did society and politicians conduct themselves in the manner you describe?
Late 1787 maybe all they up until 1788 but not much after Franklin said “A Republic, if you can keep it”
The ideas contained in the Constitution and Bill of Rights are of the greatest in all human history however most of us Americans have demonstrated ourselves to be very poor custodians of such precious treasures. America as a country is no longer worthy of them. Without great personal sacrifice on the part of the few remaining patriots they are soon likely to be erased as if they had never existed.
