[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 4907392, member: 24302"] Many decades after the Constitution was written. What's being lost in this is the Constitution was a huge influence on the French Revolution and ultimately the spread of democracy through Europe. The reason Marxism took hold in Russia was because by the 1900's serfdom was still practiced there. A lot of people came to the States because they knew the opportunities here were much greater than back home. You didn't need family connections to have anything, you just needed to work hard. The States aren't perfect, we all know that. But much of we expect as citizens today is because early on a framework, a foundation was laid that was different than anything the world had seen, and it worked. Now those who benefit from those freedoms want to erase the history of what happened before and start over. And smear that history while doing it. You're asking for a lot of turmoil doing so.
