You wouldn’t be taking words out of context if that were the case. Your agenda is clearly something else.

What you call "taking out of context" is simply a difference of opinion.

You call the Constitutional Convention merely the 'framing of a government' (as though that were a small thing).

I call it the realization that the Articles of Confederation were ill-suited for what the Founders wanted post-colonial society to be, and so they went back to the proverbial drawing board (intentionally engineering a form of republican government unlike any which had been instituted by republics of the past, as emphasized so clearly in the Federalist Papers).

Because, for societies of sufficient size, there will be a government; and the government chosen by that society will reflect the society it governs. Change one, and the other follows by necessity.

And so: a difference of opinion (your silly non sequiturs about 'gulags' notwithstanding).
