In 2011 I posted every day of the Federal Convention to FR. I have a separate post of Mason's objections. I can post the link if you would like to read it.

Madison's point is that BOR without structural back up to enforce them are parchment barriers, worthless. That is the essence of this thread.

Since 1913, the 17th Amendment, the States were reduced to just another lobby and the national government filled the void and eviscerated our BOR.

Is it commonly your practice to reply with sighs and yawns to those responding to threads you post? I can assure you that this behavior is just as tedious to others as replies that are at odds with your basic premise clearly are to you.

I won’t bother responding to one of these threads of yours again, so that’s one less future yawn you’ve got to worry about.

You have a good evening.

That’s something you should repost every year. It’s worth the discussion and there are always new eyes to see it and discuss it.

IIRC, it was Wilson who looked around the room and observed that it was populated by a majority of lawyers. He then warned that it they weren't careful that what the people would get would be a government of the same.

Hamilton pooh-poohed Wilson's concern in the Federalist with his usual blustering snow-job. I wish I had the references because the contrast is yet another instance that shows Hamilton for whom he really represented.
