The Constitution was passed in the same manner that the Obomulus package was passed. It was crafted in secret. Once it was completed, it's supporters clamored that death and Hell awaited if it weren't immediately passed. There was no time to reconsider. No time to amend. It was a life and death issue.

In short, they used the typical political devices of ginning up a crisis to intimidate their political opponents and force passage.

The Constitution was a big government boondoggle.

Ten years ago we crossed swords on the whole issue of the Constitution and secession. You’ve changed a lot since then.
