I beg to differ with this.
Freedom only works when people act responsibly.
Some of the people who were actually there when the Constitution was written left us some of their wisdom.
Benjamin Franklin said:
I . . · believe farther that this [new government under the Constitution] is likely to be well administered for a course of years, and can only end in Despotism, as other forms have done before it, when the people shall become so corrupted as to need despotic Government, being incapable of any other.
Corruption from within is the only way this country will fall.
That is the goal of our enemy.
