Thank you. I have had the great good fortune to read the entirety of Farrand's notes, the most extraordinary debate on theories of government in human history. It led me to understand structures of checks and balances such that I could design free-market architectures capable of replacing civic regulatory functions.

The police power to control the use of private property exceeds any authority granted by the Constitution. It immediately induces an interests on the part of civic agencies adverse to their mandates. There is no doubt however, that civil society has a rational claim for an owner to account for distributed risks associated with their operations. Civil means to manage such competing claims and intangible risks are therefore necessary. If you asked me what were the necessary structural changes needed from Congress, I would tell you tort reform and insurance deregulation.
