Ok look Capitalist. I agree with Lefevre on this topic, 100%. There is however, one more thing one must take into account, which is how this subversion in the U.S. took place.

The power consolidation was gradual, so as not to arouse suspicion of its watchdogs. Many of these small power grabs, accumulated over time, granting the rule making body more authority to make laws that "indirectly" affected the citizens. Indirect is the keyword here. It is when laws went from indirect rule, to direct rule, that things changed. Before this, all direct authority by the State or Fed had to be run through the Constitutional checks and balances, before an AMENDMENT could be put in place. The government, using its recently culminated power of several prior incremental power grabs made the argument that in order to "maintain order, and peace" that they should have the right to make laws outside the Constitution, that carried the equal authority of that document.(the right to remove rights, imprison, obtain property from citizens,)

If the only laws we had, were Constitutional laws, this system would still be much the same as it is now in effectiveness, but it would be ENTIRELY constitutional, which is the key factor here, since they stole our constitutional rights, in order to provide MORE effectiveness, and efficiency.

This has obviously failed, as it was never intended to succeed, but the people of the times believed in the false sense of security provided by the government, and its newly taken over media empire.

The growth of corruption is well documented.

The rights of incorporation
The creation of the Federal Reserve
The standing army
The New Deal, and all of its socialist economy programs
The declaration of a new prohibition(the war on drugs)
The creation, and unchecked growth of un-constitutional agencies in government.(FBI, CIA, FDA, etc.)


These are ideas proposed by both the progressives, and the conservatives, and both have led to a crippling of the checks and balances, as well as the overall complete, and finalized corrupt empirical system we see today.

That Constitution is not meant to rule, as much as it is to provide a guideline for the government to follow, and for the people to hold up to its government to make sure the government fits all the descriptions and limitations within it. It is though, just a piece of hemp parchment. It is the people who are the protectors of the system, and is the people who have failed, and have yet figured out how to regain control.

Rest assured, this will come to end one of two ways. Revolt, or enslavement. I am strongly, and adamantly in the first of the two. The system has proven time and again that all attempts at diplomatic fixes are not possible, since both parties control the entire system. This means that eventually, when they attempt to seal the issue of rights once and for all, there will be a rise of non-conformists that will spread. That will be the start of the next American Revolution, and I don't see it being very far off.
