The founders were students of history. They crafted a nation of checks and balances on political power, to gain the benefits of government while avoiding the worst excesses of tyrannical government.

The system created the most powerful, most free, most tolerant large country in the history of the world.

That system has been under attack at its core by power-hungry people for a long time. They have eroded the checks and balances in their quest to return to despotic, central, power.
