I came to know a lot more about the founding of our country, and the struggle to arrive at inequitable guide for life among the colonies!

Constitution still applies in the 21st Century

After going through The Federalist Papers for the first time in my life, it was found that this book of papers written over 200 years ago still applies to our society today in the 21st century. Must say it is easier to listen to than to sit down and read but then the reading was meant more for research purposes than reading cover to cover as a newspapers. One can find how the Constitution actually does apply in the case of indicting a sitting POTUS. In order to indict a sitting POTUS, the sitting POTUS must be impeached first including the Senate finding for the impeachment with a 2/3 vote. If that does not apply to the discussion in 2018 for something written 230 years ago, I don't know what does. #application #Constittution #impeachment #Tagsviving #Sweepstakes

A Piece of the Foundation of the United States

This is a worthwhile time investment to understand the origins of the American democracy. The foundations of the constitution are laid bear with some sobering explanations for the ideals from which the country evolved and has devolved. Pay attention to the limitations of communication in shaping representation as well as the wide berth into the 2nd amendment (2 particular "papers" are dedicated to the subject).
