I’ll have John Adams again answer you. Not only was he historically astute, he was also biblically adroit and understood a truth most refuse to accept:
“But a Constitution of Government once changed from Freedom, can never be restored. Liberty once lost is lost forever. When the People once surrender their share in the Legislature, and their Right of defending the Limitations upon the Government, and of resisting every Encroachment upon them, they can never regain it.” - John Adams, letter to Abigail 1775
I didn’t query JA. I asked you.
