When the Constitution was ratified, the word necessary meant, well, necessary. But in just a few short years, that was changed to convenient, or useful, giving the federal government the nearly unlimited power it has today.

The Constitution is not in force in any meaningful way. But it didn’t get like this overnight – not even close. So when did things go “off the rails” of the constitutional system? You might be surprised to hear how early it happened – and things just keep getting further and further away from it every year.

September 19, 1796 – Pres. Washington published his farewell address to “friends and fellow-citizens.” It was filled to the brim with warnings of political dangers the people must avoid to prevent despotism. They’ve been almost completely ignored for generations. And the results haven’t been good.

On the first “Constitution Day” – September 17, 1787 – Benjamin Franklin had a pretty dire warning and prediction that went far beyond his more famous quote of “if you can keep it.”

Stopping the incessant growth of the largest government in history means doing things that might seem…a little more difficult…than what most people have done for generations. But using the advice and wisdom of the founders and old revolutionaries, we can get on a successful path to liberty.

We are not to expect to be translated from despotism to liberty, in a feather bed. Thomas Jefferson was right when he wrote this and it might be even more relevant today in the face of the largest government in history.

Down the memory hole is where most foundational principles of the American Revolution seem to go. That includes the Suffolk Resolves – Sept 9, 1774 – which called for a boycott of British imports and goods, non-compliance to the Coercive Acts, disobedience to courts, tax resistance and more.
