      the United States Constitution was written in 1871 as a corporate charter to masquerade as the organic Government of the Republic's 33 states which were in fact ratified by We The People.

    Given the current climate of the country, teaching the constitution to children is more important than ever! They need to understand the powers of their pens and voices. I’m using all this turmoil as a great teachable moment in my homeschool. A more perfect union can only be created by intelligent, self-controlled citizens. Is that what your local school is turning out?

    • @jameseverett4976

      No, they're turning out kids more concerned with their feelings of sexuality than anything else, as if their moment to moment changing perception of their own gender is the reference point of all existence, and that they should be in a state of constant gender conversion therapy as their feelings ever so subtly dictate.

    The story of the birth of the United States of America is, for me, one of the most absorbing and fascinating chapters of western civilization. So interesting to learn that many people at the time predicted the failure and/or collapse of this fledgeling democracy, and the many obstacle that stood in the way of the 13 states coming together as one nation.

    Mr Robert Morris informed the members assembled that by the instruction & in behalf, of the deputation of Pena. he proposed George Washington Esqr. late Commander in chief for president of the Convention. Mr. Jno. Rutlidge seconded the motion; expressing his confidence that the choice would be unanimous, and observing that the presence of Genl Washington forbade any observations on the occasion which might otherwise be proper. General (Washington) was accordingly unanimously elected by ballot, and conducted to the chair by Mr. R. Morris and Mr. Rutlidge; from which in a very emphatic manner he thanked the Convention for the honor they had conferred on him, reminded them of the novelty of the scene of business in which he was to act, lamented his want of (better qualifications), and claimed the indulgence of the House towards the involuntary errors which his inexperience might occasion. (The nomination came with particular grace from Penna, as Docr. Franklin alone could have been thought of as a competitor). The Docr. was himself to have made the nomination (of General Washington, but the state of the weather and of his health confined him to his house.) - James Madison's Notes, May 14th
