When my Grandma died we found amongst her papers our lineage to join the DAR (that just MIGHT have been handy in history class in high school).

In any event, upon researching my GGGGG Grandpa who sat in the PA Assembly, I came across a letter that he and two others wrote to one B. Franklin expressing their concerns about the upcoming vote at the Constitutional Convention.

They expressed grave concern regarding the fact that the document left too open the possibilities that:

The American people would one day suffer an egregious tax burden.

And, that press might coagulate into a "cabal" that would attempt to undermine the country.

Go figure.

Very insightful people would have those concerns:

And, that press might coagulate into a "cabal" that would attempt to undermine the country.

How do you think they would feel knowing their fears came to fruition?
