The Constitution wasn't turned on it's head for almost 150 years.
For flab, look to the Articles of Anarchy, which were ignored from the moment they were ratified.

The Articles are definitely quaint. Charming to think that this loose confederation was able to defeat the British empire. Heady days.

For flab, look to the Articles of Anarchy, which were ignored from the moment they were ratified. If anything, one would say the Articles of Confederation were ultra-lean. And the Constitution is ultra-flabby. Perhaps there was/is a middle ground in there somewhere.
