Most of the men who signed the Declaration of Independence were initially opposed to the ratification of the Constitution. In fact only six of the fifty five signers of the Declaration even attended Constitutional Convention held in 1787.
They feared the government created by the Constitution gave far too much power to the National government. They felt the Constitution would plant the seeds of tyranny and the new government would one day enslave the people it was created to protect.
The Constitution was written to control the government, not the people or the states. The National government was be the servant of the people, not their master. The powers delegated to the central government of the united States were few and well defined and any power not specifically granted to the government of the united States was reserved to the states and the people.
The Anti-Federalists wanted a small central government with limited powers while the Federalists want a large government with virtually limitless power. The battle between these ideologies was the reason for the Civil War. The war was not fought to free the slaves, it was fought to enslave the states.
Before the Civil War the people were sovereign and had unalienable rights, but after the war their God given rights were converted into privileges granted to us by the government of the united States. The Constitution which was written to protect the rights of the people became a tool in the hands of the financial elite to enslave the states and the people.
The government created of, by and for the people is now the government of the lobbyist, by the lawyers and for the bankers.

So well put Keith!!
Boy howdy. You have a way of putting things concisely yet powerfully.
He has not made one arrest for Treason. There are upwards of thousands involved. It's way worse than we know. If the founders could wake up They would charge
Us with aiding and abetting the Enemy. Because we have not upheld our duty as Americans.
Right on, LW. We're always looking for one savior or another instead of rolling up our sleeves and working.
How does one join the Fourth Branch Constitutional Militia?
Is it YOUR congressman or employee of the U.S. Inc.? Will Federal Express/Walmart employees do your bidding? Rod Class got a judicial determination that the American government is not active....offices are empty....nobody there. We must not forget this important fact.
Perhaps we start by first forming local jural assemblies to start correcting wrongs? We could also declare who we really are: wo/man on the land, NOT U.S. citizens.

I don't recall hearing that only six of the signers of the Declaration attended the Constitutional Convention. That is astounding. And spot-on concerning the War of Northern Aggression . . . and I'm a Pennsylvanian. The South will indeed rise again.
