Folks are reaching out and asking me why I have a bone in my teeth (forever) about the Constitution and I just managed to dig up a 2010 debate I had with Professor Daniel Walker Howe at FreedomFest.
I defended the Articles of Confederation against the Constitution.
I was and remain a nobody but they could not find another AoC champion.
Me: “Hamilton’s machinations and influence probably single-handedly turned the product of this secret confab into one of the most successful instruments of political oppression before even the creation of the USSR. What makes it even more sublime as a tool of big government is the sophisticated propaganda and hagiographic enterprise which has both spontaneously and through careful planning suborned the public’s skepticism of the nature of the machine erected to control their behavior, which has resulted in an almost religious observance of all things Constitutional. Carefully cultivated over two hundred years, this religious idolatry had certainly fogged the thinking of this writer for most of his adult life. This sleeper has awakened.”
More details here.
I recommend my friend’s, Kenneth Royce, masterful critique of the Constitution: Hologram of Liberty: The Constitution’s Shocking Alliance With Big Government
The Anti-federalist Papers were an early warming system.
Lysander Spooner warned us very early on.
You have been lied to…
