Uh, you know of course that the Virginia Governor Edmund Randolph, submitted fifteen resolutions to the Convention which proposed a government built around the three branches we now have? Shall I add Randolph to your list of the "clueless," Madison, Hamilton, Washington, Jay?

The following is a sort of Huck-like statement; I can't get down in the dirt like you but will give it a try:

"Patrick Henry, a patriot and staunch defender of the Articles could have affected the course American history with his incredible oratory. It is possible that he could have further limited certain aspects of federal power, especially the Supreme Court. That he chose not to attend the convention with his fellow Virginians who supported greatly enhanced federal power makes one wonder of his inner fortitude. He apparently wasn't as certain of his opinions as some would make. It is likely that by the time of the Convention he was something of a coward."

I never said Hamilton was clueless. Far from it. The only one I said was clueless was Madison.
