"It had been insisted upon by those who were called anti-federalists, that this form of government consolidated the union; .... Those who were called anti-federalists at that time, complained that they were in favor of a federal government, and the others were in favor of a National one; the federalists were for ratifying the constitution as it stood, and the others did not until amendments were made [the Bill of Rights].Their names then ought not to have been distinguished by federalists and anti-federalists, but rats and anti-rats."

Elbridge Gerry

"I told you before that I smelled a rat. The Constitution is an outrageous insult to the men who fought the Revolution."

Patrick Henry

I'm writing a Constitution. Here's my first draft of a Preamble:

We the States, recognizing that government is nothing more than a choice among evils, do reluctantly institute this general government to do the bare minimum of general duties we expressly delegate to them, and nothing more, and do solemnly swear to otherwise keep them off our freaking backs and out of our lives altogether"
