defend the nation from rebellion,

Ummmm...we're not a "nation," we're a Union as in "to form a more perfect Union." Might want to read Samuel Johnson's Dictionary of 1755 to better understand WHY the Framers chose the work "Union."

You've got your history all wrong, so did I until Dr. Walter Williams helped me take the blinders off. I know, I know, you think he's wrong to.

Willams is a good economist, not a good political theorist.

More word games.

Yes, to form a more perfect union, meant a stronger union then the Articles of Confederation, which meant more unity, not less.

We are the American People, not the Texan people, New York People.
