   Constitution Deep Dive pt. 1 - The apex of western civilization
   Published in Blog on September 19, 2022 by Jakob Fay

	When Daniel Webster boasted that the “American Constitution is
  the great memorial of the deeds of our ancestors,” he made an under-
  statement; America’s Constitution was not and is not merely a memorial
  to the brilliance of our Founders but to the greatest ideas of all
  western philosophy.
	The Founding Fathers relied heavily on the wisdom of the past.
  They represented a conglomeration of philosophies and influences
  (Mosaic Law, Athenian democracy, Christian virtue, Magna Carta, John
  Locke, Montesquieu, Enlightenment thinking, etc.) all of which com-
  bined to produce a singular governing document that could not have
  come together at any other moment in history.
	They also had personal experience. Their own run-ins with the
  crown had taught them just how easily a government could become ty-
  rannical. Despite refined political philosophy and guarantees of
  rights, a government could still turn its back on its people–just
  as Great Britain had.
	When assembling the American system of governance, the Founding
  Fathers knew they’d need not only to study great governments of the
  past but also why those governments had a fall from greatness. Creat-
  ing a good government would be one thing; saving it from human nature
  would be another altogether.
	The Founders were well acquainted with human nature and spoke of
  it often. James Madison warned that “there is a degree of depravity
  in mankind which requires a certain degree of circumspection and dis-
  trust.” “We must take human nature as we find it,” George Washington
  agreed. “Perfection falls not to the share of mortals.”
	They knew the same human proclivities that soured England's gov-
  ernment could crop up in the hearts of politicians anywhere. The
  American system, therefore, must hold the national government back
  from becoming a threat to fundamental rights (the inevitable danger
  of a government with too much power) while at the same time giving
  it enough power to perform a few essential tasks (to avoid the ca-
  tastrophe of the Articles of Confederation).
	Finding that delicate balance seemed close to impossible, but
  thanks to their wisdom, broad frame of reference, and Divine Provi-
  dence, the Founding Fathers hit the mark. What they gave us was a
  Republic unlike any other, the apex of western civilization.
	As Americans, we are direct beneficiaries of their profound
  accomplishment. We are beneficiaries of thousands of years of wis-
  dom and experience. As Calvin Coolidge said, “to live under the
  American Constitution is the greatest political privilege that was
  ever accorded to the human race."
	This week, as we take a deep dive into our exceptional governing
  document, may we appreciate how blessed we are to live in this great
  nation. May we also remember Benjamin Franklin’s words upon leaving
  the Constitutional Convention. When asked what delegates to the con-
  vention had given the American people, the doctor answered
  “a Republic… if you can keep it.”
	No matter how great the document the framers created was,
  Franklin knew there always would be an “if.” Now, it’s our genera-
  tion’s turn to “keep” the American Republic, and if we lose it, as
  our forebears have warned, “there is no place to escape to.”
	Join us in our mission to call an Article V Convention of States
  –which comes directly from the U.S. Constitution–and together, let’s
  save freedom’s last stand on earth.

	There will be three parts to this explanation of how Americans
  can choose to save this country by fighting for the rights given to
  us by the Constitution.
	We have no one to blame for what finally comes of the corruption
  that is spreading over the nation and destroying all the effort put
  into its design.
	The corrupt are trying to "Fundamentally Transform America" into
  something far removed from a 'Republic'.
	We know many of who are responsible and how they have used the
  media and the failing patriotic will of the people to brainwash
  the weak minded. Those who have come here for the purpose of turning
  this country into what they were escaping and letting themselves be
  lied to and convinced that there is a free ride up right up to when
  they learn that NOTHING is life worth have is free.
	We have a group of people in DC that have so many conflicting
  agendas that all they have done since 2006 is tear the thread of our
  nation into so many shreds. The words, "We The People" has lost all
  meaning and The People's only choice will be to unite under the law
  of the Fifth Amendment and with the malitia afforded us form a Con-
  vention of States and take back what so many have fought and died to
  preserve.
	If God is willing to guide us, He will save our nation and guide
  others to restore the world to what God intended.
	The evil on this planet has lost its way and only He can open
  ALL eyes.
 	If we fail, we have nowhere else to go.

  Conservatively,
  John
