Everything else is intended to confuse you into giving up your rights. Everything else ends in anarchy, or worse, tyranny. Only a written, social contract that outlines the responsibilities and limitations of government ,as well as the responsibilities of the people, and is honored and sustained by both, can provide a stable institution somewhere between anarchy and tyranny. Others will argue that the society has changed so dramatically since the Constitution was ratified that it no longer applies to an industrial or informational society. Yes, the times have changed since the American Revolution.
Society is different.
Human nature has not changed since the days of Adam. The only thing that has changed is man's ability to take advantage of and do harm to others through the use of technology. If the majority of the people saw value in these programs, we would have them Constitutionally. As the document reads today, there is nothing in the document that empowers the department of Health and Human Resources, the department of Education, NASA, HUD, EPA, OSHA, EEOC, DOE, FAA, FDA, BLM, etc. However, there is no way a rational person could read the plainness of the Constitution while understanding the basic intent of the Founders to limit the powers of government and believe that.
