The States should have pursued that..............and had the states decided what is best for them they would have had to find a way to pay for it...........as they don't have access to the printing press..............They would be far less likely to do it when the bills come due......................Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Hapiness“Endowed by their Creator with certain new inalianable right...” aka “natural rights. The Declaration is a series of grievances against the tyrannical rule of the barbaric King. He quoted stirring up native groups to attack along the frontier killing men, women, and children. The King not recognizing colonial governments etc.Tell usHe also wrote the Declaration of Independence. Read it and see what he says about natural rights and the violation of those by the Crown.Wrong again
He wrote it many years after the revolution
So our government pursuing those in the interests of the general welfare meets the intent of our founders
The Federal Gov't was limited for a reason..............to stop corrupt assholes from getting too much power.......and using it for their own personal financial gain..............handing out money for whatever and whomever they please...............
What we have today was not the intent of the Founding Fathers.
The reason the Federal Government was limited was the founders had no other choice
We were an in debt, widely disbursed agrarian nation. Communications between populated areas took weeks. Most travel was by ship. A federal government trying to control that nation made no sense
Today, we are the most economically and militarily powerful nation on earth. Expecting 50 individual states to run a nation of this magnitude makes no sense
We have transitioned from a group of states that are united to THE UNITED STATES 150 years ago
It is what enabled us to be the great nation we are today
