That’s like putting something together and not reading the instruction and then when it doesn’t come out right blaming it on the instruction.

It exposes a fatal flaw in the instructions, that they were insufficient for self-maintenance. Or perhaps the flaw was that they were made for a people that doesn’t, and can’t, exist.

Either way, we have the benefit of hindsight, and the one thing we can determine for sure is that the instructions didn’t work.

From the very beginning the federal government began to accumulate power at the expense of the people and the States, and it has never stopped since, leaving us today with a totalitarian despotism that interferes with every aspect of the private affairs of citizens.

I should also note that the government reaction to the Whiskey Rebellion proves that not even the most well-regarded of the Founders couldn’t obey those instructions.
