“Some people seem to think the Constitution’s framers simply made the whole thing up. ‘Why should we pay attention to what 55 dead white guys wrote 239 years ago?’ they ask. But the framers did not make it all up. The ideas behind the Constitution had been discussed and tested for a very long time. Illustrating this is a document written nearly 20 years before the framers met in Philadelphia—a document that proclaims concepts later incorporated into the Constitution.” (09/20/26)
