I wish the above were sarcasm, but it is not.
Of course the founding documents of that nation once known as “the United States of America” are outmoded.
Apparently the territory is no longer governed by this code, and has since become pretty much “dead letter”. Shame, too, because when these rules were carried out in the spirit of which they were intended, it made for one of the most equitable and responsive governments administered for the benefit of humanity ever to grace this planet. And now it is just discarded like yesterday’s trash, to be supplanted by newer and much more sophisticated forms of tyranny.
The old forms of tyranny were at best clumsy and could only be applied intermittently, but now, with better means of snooping and collating of information, response time to dissident opinions is MUCH swifter and more devastating.
