Is another revolutionary war about to occur in the United States

First, welcome to the debate, if this is indeed one, for as I see it you have presented no argument against my premise at all. In any case let me address a few of your points, then I will move on. 1.) Rebuttal: Impossible. The U.S. constitution was drafted in 1787, signed in 1788 and enacted in 1789. [1] The American colonists (British subjects) rioted in objection to the stamp act and the British Parliament repealed the tax, marking a clear victory for the colonists. [2] I challenge my opponent to show a contemporary parallel, to address his 2nd burden. Indeed he is correct, however they, the colonist, was not basing their objections to pay the tax on their constitution, which hadn"t even been drafted yet, but on the 1689 English Bill of Rights which forbade the imposition of taxes without the consent of Parliament. This is what lead me to believe that they, the colonist, felt it was unconstitutional because they felt they didn"t have representation and was being taxed. Another thing, the Stamp Act wasn"t repealed. In fact, it passed on March 22 of 1765, and took effect on November 1 of that same year. Rebuttal: Entirely anecdotal. Statements like I believe or it seems are not rooted in cited sources. True, however this was just an opening statement with more to come. Rebuttal continues: Additionally, our constitution does not promise true representation. Article 1 of the US constitution required one representative per 30,000 citizens. The phrase true representation is not mentioned in article 1. Straw-man argument. [3] True again, the phrase is not mentioned, but it is assumed, just as we assume that we have freedom of speech, which is protected by the first amendment, even though our constitution doesn"t exactly, in detail, spell out what is considered freedom of speech and what isn"t. Rebuttal: Where to begin? Pro does not define too much taxation. Pro does not define true representation. Pro argued anecdotally with more I believe statements. Pro accuses the Government of desiring control over, rather than a partnership with, the citizen population. Pro concludes with a source less premise, proclaiming that civil unrest in inevitable. Point A: This is defined by the people who is being taxed, meaning Americans in this case, and not by one individual. Point B: The simple definition of true representation with respect to my argument is: a government that does the will of the people, by majority rule I should say, instead of doing what it wills. I would also like to add a government that presents the image of the people in the way they wish to be represented. And just for the sake of clarity, the following definitions can be found in the dictionary. 1. The act of representing or the state of being represented. 2. Something that represents, as: a. An image or likeness of something. b. An account or statement, as of facts, allegations, or arguments. c. An expostulation; a protest. d. A presentation or production, as of a play. 3. The state or condition of serving as an official delegate, agent, or spokesperson. 4. The right or privilege of being represented by delegates having a voice in a legislative body. 5. A body of legislators that serve on behalf of a constituency. 6. Law A statement of fact made by one party in order to induce another party to enter into a contract. 7. Mathematics A homomorphism from an algebraic system to a similar system of matrices. In any case, let me continue on, starting with this question, that being: what does The Hittite Empire, the Mycenaean civilization, the Western Roman Empire, the Mauryan and Gupta Empires in India, the Mayas, the Angkor in Cambodia, and the Han and Tang dynasties in China, have in common? The Answer: Social Collapse. But what are some of the key factors of social collapse, in other words, what causes such a thing to happen? The Answer: economic, environmental, social and cultural. With that said, lets take a closer look at these factors, starting with economic, and see how they apply to us today. Question: Are we in economical trouble? The answer is yes, as is so apparent it is hardly worth mentioning. Just watch the news or listen to the radio. Question: Are we having major environmental issues, meaning, that it is becoming more and more difficult to get or maintain the supplies of resources we need such as oil, food. The answer again is yes. Go online and google such topics or again listen to the news or radio. Question: is the morality of our society and our cultural identity deteriorating to the point that we no longer have a sound foundation on which to stay connected, in other words, are we becoming more and more divided as a nation? The answer is sadly yes. Just look at the gun control issue, the gay marriage issue, and the immigration issue, to name a few. So then, if these signs are indeed present with in our country, which now can be redefine as a society in the early stages of collapse based upon the evidence I just presented, then what should we conclude. I think you know. In fact, it isn't a question of if, but when, which begs one last query, that being: is this idea of another revolution occuring today all that to far fetched to believe? Is it really? Well, the answer is: no. Just look at what has happened in New Orleans after Katrina and I think about it. I conclude. ANd now I turn it over to you sir. http://en.wikipedia.org...
