"But whether the Constitution really be one thing, or another, this much is certain - that it has either authorized such a government as we have had, or has been powerless to prevent it. In either case it is unfit to exist."
Lysander Spooner (1808-1887) correctly assessed then, thus accurately predicted the "unfit" document's further failures upon constitutional failures already plaguing 19th century America. Of course, if to appropriately understand the Summer of 1787 in Philadelphia as history's first of many political intrigues and schemes, then the failures would have been expected, compounded by the logically fulfilled prediction(s) per Federalist Paper No. 84 by Alexander Hamilton (1757-1804).
It is by these truths self-evident (or should be to any observer of history), I wrote and shall abide to this Bill of Right (singular) till my last breath, thus published in my last book and printed on canvas hanging over my treasured whiskey cabinet...
BILL of RIGHT
If such understanding forms and foments, then solely amid ceaseless study, ponder and labor, concluding first in part, later in whole, to logically respect then ethically regard, hence fervently declaring then firmly establishing in this manner.
The propensity, preference and persistence upon observable practice by Each and Every Individual since first reasoned the Specie Human and Peculiar above all other species, thus consistently inclining, constantly insisting the Singular Right to Consent or Dissent regarding Each and Every Matter, indeed without exception as exemplified per unwanted prevention, unacceptable prohibition, undesirable preemption, unwelcomed intervention, unwarranted retroaction by persons ever covetous as well parties ever contemptuous whether private, religious, philosophical, economical, social, political, governmental and more.
