And therefore you should not presume to speak for them and try to tell us what they would do.
Seeing as how they kicked the biggest m,ilitary machine in the world out of their country, I certainly feel free, by way of the First Amm. they wrote, to point out that they would not take lightly their progeny selling off their birthright for the proverbial bowl of pottage.
And that's your solution? Preposterous! I hope you enjoy your alternate reality.
Lets see what the Founding Fathers though of such a preposterous idea:
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, —
That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that
mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism,
it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. "
Ring any bells?
