I merely recognized the source of you claim, and applied the arguments used in that work as a general case, which you REALLY disliked.NO! What I REALLY disliked was your calling me a Judas and a liar! God you're dense!

In regards to yesterday's
statement by you can you show me where the imperfections came in to disallow the ratification of the Constitution according to "that crowd's" way of thinking? If it wasn't copied properly you should be able to prove that it wasn't.
Constitutional Topic: How a Bill Becomes a LawOnce a bill leaves the House and the Senate, it must be checked. If anything in the two versions of the bill differ, in any way (even in something as minor as punctuation), the bill must be reconciled.I think you're wrong. The FF were diligent men and wouldn't make the mistakes you attribute to them.
And even being aware of the work you still believe that the amendment was properly ratified?Yes, because the totality of alleged defects is well below the number of KNOWN defects in previous amendment ratifications, as well as the ratifications of the original Constitution. Those defects were summarized in a memorandum to Philander Knox, the Secretary of State when the 16th Amendment was ratified.

The Founding Fathers were probably diligent, but in an era where everything was HAND-WRITTEN before being taken to the printing press (as opposed to modern techniques of camera-ready art or digital prepress), mistakes are inevitable unless one is very lucky. What came out of the Senate and House may very well have been letter-perfect, but the print shops of the several state legislatures introduced their own unique errors. Essentially, thirteen different copies of the Constitution and the BoR were studied and debated--and none agreed with the version that came out of the Constitutional Convention.
