“Both the 1776 Declaration of Independence and the 1787 Constitution were ratified with unanimous mutual consent of all 13 colonies/states.”
That is an interesting comment: that the Constitution was ratified with (mutual) consent.
As recently as post 1,219 you claimed one state forced ratification of the pro-slavery U.S. Constitution by “threatening” the other 12.
Consent obtained by threats is not consent.
Your arguments conflict. That’s because you don’t have sound schemata.
Exactly the point I make about the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments.
Nonsense, politics is politics.
Representatives often agree to provisions they dislike in order to obtain a larger goal they want more.
One now famous politician wrote a book about it, perhaps you've heard, "The Art of the Deal"?

"Sound schemata"?
Well... there's a $2 word for a mere "schoolboy".
Even if, after a few years, you've now become an "old boy", that's still a pretty specialized term, suggesting some rather focused learning.
Regardless, my arguments are not in conflict and my "schemata" are simply the facts of history.
You should look them up someday.
