and I agree with him 100%. Been saying this to you all for years, the Constitution was designed to promote big business and make the rich, richer.

The Constitution was established in order to strengthen the powers of the Federal government.

Hogwash. :thumbs:

 

[J.D.]

I've heard North say that the Article of Confederacy of the Colonies was a better document than the Constitution, but I didn't realize he felt that strongly about it. However, the 10th amendment is in there, even though they pertetually ignore it.

Better to compare the Constitution with the Articles of Confederation . . . the document the PHILLY meeting was supposed to amend.

Hogwash. :thumbs:

In a limited sense, a stronger central government was needed than was outlined in the Articles of Confederation.

As for the rest of North's blatherings, I agree...

Hogwash!

Which blatherings? Outside of North being a gold bug, I generally agree with him.

I have my own analysis of the Constitution. It means nothing.
