Yes, it did.

It created the framework of the us federal government.

For as much good as it did, it also created that. And the reason the creation is flawed is because it relies on the morality of man, and we can clearly see in this society, as well as in others, that that morality can very easily fail.

To trust men with power over other men is folly.

Man must govern himself, and he must do this with morality and with Jesus Christ.

Now don’t get me wrong, I love the constitution. But I have to level this criticism because I am an honest man. I may be wrong about it, but I do not think that I am.

I believe that the only way to address this problem civilly at this point is with an Article V convention.

The constitution gave us the civil tool to tame an out of control government, and that is exactly what we have.

We either use that tool, or we find another way, or we get consumed by the beast.

Elections aren’t going to solve this, because the election system has been corrupted, the people running for office are liars, and the people voting for them have been fooled in a way that doesn’t seem easily or quickly reversible.

This is where we are as I see it.

Please ponder this: If we cannot muster enough moral men in a time of immorality to follow the Constitution we have, why on Earth would anyone think that a Constitution altered or produced today would be any improvement on that posited by moral and generally selfless men?

No good will come from opening to alteration the solid foundation of what has been of late a dreadful construction. Tear down the latest fabrications, but leave that foundation alone.

What comes of this might have no resemblance to that original. Those who have done all in their power to daily subvert the Constitution will show up to write a new one in droves. There is no guarantee that good will carry the day, and every indication otherwise.
