Men were no more nor less corrupt in 1787 than they are now.

The system the Framers designed allowed for less than angelic politicians. It divided power between the states and the government they created. This separation of power is not optional to freedom.

Repeal the 17th, and restoration of freedom is possible.

"Men were no more nor less corrupt in 1787 than they are now."

That argument has been a popular one with socialists for about 40 years, and it's not true. The leaders (and men) of America then were far more moral then than the leadership of contemporary America. In fact, their fathers and grandfathers came to this country specifically to get away from European immorality.
