Which of its principles do you wish to claim are not 'undeniable truths'?

Well, let's just take Supercat's point for example, that all states are entitled to equal representation. How is that an undeniable truth?

I doubt it is a 'basic principle of individual liberty'. It's an arguable point of exactly how our government should be structured.

I think I can make at least a plausible argument that Texas ought to have a bigger vote in the Senate than Vermont. I understand the arguments against it, but I'd hardly call it something which is obvious to all.

Then you should be able to understand my main point, and answer the question: - "Why would you, [or anyone] support such a violation of liberty?" - from my last post.

I'm certainly not advocating any changes that would violate our liberties, but the reason why some people do is because it makes them more powerful and you less powerful. I think that's always the motivation.
