"We here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain — that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.” - A. Lincoln
This was the intent of the framers of the Constitution.
This intent is reflected in the checks and balances built into the Constitution for the purpose of weakening the ability of the elected to formulate a structure that could ignore the will of the people.
After 240 years, those representatives have wrangled the power from the people so as to pervert Lincoln`s words to this:
"of the Government, by the Government and for the Government"
When the foundation of any structure has crumbled it is time to raze it and rebuild.
