This interesting piece about the Constitution highlights what we often neglect about our nation's government. Our nation's backbone is the US Constitution and with all the hype about the election, foreign and domestic policies and political parties, we seem to refer back to the framers who built this nation less and less.
“the Constitution isn’t a document; it’s an argument.”
No matter what ideas or rules these framers have laid out, there would always be an opposing view. Hence the rise of the Federalist and the Anti-Federalists. Those who argued for a strong centralized government and those who favor a smaller alternative.
"What’s government for? Two and a quarter centuries later, that question still
demands a citizenry literate in civics. If we want to honor the Constitution truly,
we should fight over it like Framers."
