There's your constitution right there. Realtalk.. Outside of Hogwharts in Harry Potter land.. words in western culture are meaningless on their own. Context is truly everything. And words only have power in the mouths of the powerful. It would not have mattered a single bit if every enslaved African memorized every single word of the constitution. The truth is.. there is no power in any document. The State is maintained and run by guns.. not words. If you take a deeper look at history, you'll see that every Historical document is metaphorically-speaking.. written in blood.. from the founding of Jamestown.. to the Declaration of Independence.. to the Constitution.. and so on and so on.. none of those words meant anything until they were ratified by the gun.. meaning.. until those government seals were dipped in the artery-red blood of the people. And the same goes for every law on the books.. it takes a constant stream of the deepest reddest blood to maintain the bloody foundation of a bloody nation. -Peace.
"The level of comprehension and research needed to interpret and understand the Constitution of the United States from a multitude of perspectives and philosophies greatly exceeds and surpasses the interest of the vast majority of the population." This last statement hit the nail on the head. "...a multitude of perspectives and philosophies GREATLY EXCEEDS AND SURPASSES THE INTEREST OF THE VAST MAJORITY OF THE POPULATION. To say that simply means that many of the people are not interested in or care about how they are treated by the government. In my words that is kind of like dumb animals on a farm that do not have any interest in the fact that they will soon be sent off to packing houses where they will be killed and cut up for experiments and for food products. I must agree with your view on not having any interest. Peace
Did Gandhi use force to make the British leave them alone and leave their country? "We The People" have that same power. When the people of India realized who it was that was making their lives a living hell and united behind Gandhi the British had to turn tail and run. Gandhi was the figurehead of peace and humbleness ,but behind him he had over 200 million people who were united and ready to kill every european in their country for their bondage to be lifted. In this place (USA) if and when the oppressed masses come to gather the army, and police departments will have to give up their defense of the corrupt system or die. There are hundreds of thousands of military and police officials who will defect and join the people. You can believe that. I have heard many say that they will never fire on their own people no matter what the government tells them to do. The purchase of guns has risen dramatically in the last few years in the USA. People who are conscious are preparing for what may come ,and this is not talking about 200 years ago when blacks were forbidden to own weapons under penalty of bodily harm or even death. Peace
