America wrote the first and best Constitution in the world.

It has both lasted hundreds of years, and yet didn't last a generation before it the authoritarian left started subverting it. Now it has been perverted beyond recognition, thanks to Jurisprudence over History/Contract Law.
The Federalists (authoritarians/progressives/Democrats) started undermining it immediately, and have continued to do so to this day. They hate restrictions on their power, and the Constitution is in their way.
What we have today doesn't really resemble the government we were founded on, and most of the changes have been for the worse (and the majority of the bad changes, were snuck in by progressive rulings, the majority of the rest were progressive laws/ammendments). Even the ones I agree with, and there's quite a few, undermined the law of the land, and eroded individual liberty. So let's go through them and history.
More[edit | edit source]
- Eighteenth Amendment - Progressive Conservative Democrats helped drive Alcohol Prohibition: the right way for once, via the Amendment process. For the same reasons they support gun control: it's not the individual, it's their tools that are the problem. And it worked about at empowering criminals, disempowering the law abiding, and turning otherwise good citizens into criminals.
- Eighth Amendment - The founding fathers and all judges for 200 years agreed that capital punishment wasn't cruel and certainly not unusual. Then in 1972 the far left invented it's arbitrary application as evidence it was (and a violation of the 8th Amendment). This was reversed 4 years later, after 37 states had plugged any legal holes about it's arbitrary application.
- First Amendment - The left loves Free Speech and Freedom of Religion, unless it's "Hate Speech" or "Disinformation", which is anything they disagree with. Or Christian displays, prayer in school, corporations supporting the other side in political ads, disagreeing with Global Warming, admitting Islamic Terrorists exists, or that Chromosomes define gender not feelings, and so on.
- Fourth Amendment - Democrats/left hate the 2A, so they're willing to sacrifice all our other civil rights (and bill of rights) including the 4th. The 4th protects against illegal search and seizures by requiring probable cause. But "Red Flag" laws and "no fly lists", both violate the 6th and 4th in some seriously questionable ways. Any anonymous claim, and you're out of luck.
- Politically Incorrect Guide to the Constitution - Disclosure: I love the "Politically Incorrect Guide's"... and Kevin Gutzman is a FB friend. So I went in a bit biased. But on a piece like this, even if you're a history buff, and know 2/3rds of it, there are going to be lots of new nuggets or spins that you'll enjoy. It certainly was for me.
- Second Amendment - America was founded on, "Guns are liberties teeth". Governments are empowered by men to protect men. If governments don't trust the public to protect themselves, then the government isn't serving the people any more, and is the problem. The gun-controllers is exactly the kind of corrupt leadership that the Second Amendment was written to protect against.
- Sixth Amendment - Red Flag Laws are in direct conflict with the Constitution/Sixth Amendment. Secret hearings to strip you of your rights, based on shoddy or made-up evidence, and you don't need due process, or to face your accuser, when it comes to boom sticks, because they're scary? Democrats are all in. People that defend the constitution/law of the land are horrified.
