Governments
This post is not about how governments are wrong or the constitution is something sacred. This is about something interesting in the creation of the document that is said to be the most important to have been created in the course of governance.
The United States Constitution is an interesting document in that it was never something that was voted on by everyone. It was created by some folks, signed by some folks, and it would seem the majority of the signers wound up with a pretty poor post signing life. The document is interesting for what it does not say, what the creators chose to leave out.
Human Beings are Freewill beings, as are all expressions in all of consciousness - this is the only truth there is. Madison was one who knew this, in fact this was a time period in Human Being expression on Earth where this truth was making a return after the dark ages did everything it could to render the notion a myth. There seemed to have been an argument about whether this fact should have been expressly written in the document. It might have said something like, “all human beings are freewill beings and governments have no right to impinge on this fact,” or something to that effect. But alas the document’s biggest flaw is that it failed to say that outright instead it suggest the “people” already knew this and would be guided by this always.
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness
Note the screw up here, “self-evident.” If this TRUTH was at the core of all of our “governance” what we see as governmental control would look wildly different as that foundation alters the process entirely. Instead this TRUTH is never, ever part of the discourse. Over two hundred years later and nearly all people in the US, and most of the world, believe that governments GIVE people the right inherent in them. In just over 200 years, the notion of a Freewill Human Being has been reduced to a myth again, and largely because the so called “founding fathers” decided not to define the absolute truth in writing - just one more sentence guys. Madison felt it was condescending and unnecessary to state the obvious…
