Will have to listen to this for what he offers.

Does the Constitution Matter at This Point?

Will we have a peaceful transition to a pure Constitutional order? Are the states able to check the power of the oligarchs? If not, then isn't complaining about what the Federal Executive might be doing in order to solve problems of real people futile? Now the good professor is helpful to explain what the Constitution originally intended for the Federal Executive and we can learn something from it, but we are not returning to that original order, and we need to learn what its weaknesses are if we are to create a new, better order in the future.

FPR: Liberty or Empire? Reconsidering the Articles of Confederation by Alexander Salter

In general, the pro-centralization party was dismayed at the democratic and egalitarian consequences of the Revolution. Too many plebeians were getting elected to state legislatures. Instead of a decentralized, democratic federation, the centralizers wanted a quasi-aristocratic “empire of liberty,” led by wealthy men of leisure, authorized to build a state that would rival the empires of Europe. The Constitution, in comparison to the Articles, grants the central government extensive powers to impose taxes, micromanage trade, raise an army and a navy, and otherwise undertake the activities expected of a late-18th century nation aspiring to international greatness.

Viewed this way, the Constitution was an attempt by conservatives to create a fiscal-military state. Our civic religion trumpets the Constitution as a triumph of freedom. In reality, as historian Sheldon Richman argues, “it was a counter-revolution, in many ways a reversal of the radical achievement represented by America’s break with the British Empire.”
