No offense, but Duh? That is obvious. You have not addressed my question. Why did they not carry the philosophy of the DoI into the USC?
I see in post #13 you have more closely addressed my question. What I see as having happened over the years, through judicial rulings, is the distancing from the DoI in order to separate the Creator out of government and make it more about WE THE PEOPLE. This has, over time, and we are seeing it in spades now, opened the road to abolishing rule of law and replacing it with situational ruling. When there are no absolutes, there is freedom to slide the standards in any way necessary to meet the objective at hand.
The constitution is a beautiful document, but it is flawed, in my opinion, in this one fact alone. The FF did not formally and matter-of-fact, put in the stop-block that they acknowledged to exist in DoI and in so doing, left room for an equally tyrannical type government to develop over time.
Duh! Right back. They didn’t “carry it over” because it was assumed,and repeating it at length would have been supeefluous.
