Constitution 101

WHAT!!!
A central government!!
 If we cannot trust the King and parliament??

Did we rid ourselves of a tyrant  3000 miles away only to have 5000 tyrants 500 miles away?

Never..Never.. My state my life...why do I need people from other states telling ME what to do ?

That was the feeling of many in 1786. The War was over and we won. I will worry about my state jack You worry about yours!!
Yet. England and France and Spain were still out there and in the 1780's the Indians were Not movie cartoon characters   singing about the colors of the wind. They were a power full force and one to be feared.  England and France were happy to trade guns power and shot for fur and New Orleans was owned by Spain  who could close the port any time they felt like it..No good growing all that food pal if you cannot get it to market and without a port you cannot.( look up the Whiskey rebellion)
Plus, we owed millions to France and Holland and some to Spain and which state or states pay?
Yep..States did print their own money and you  had to exchange it if you went to other states and at THEIR rates. ..Hey a dollar of your money for 50 cents of ours.  Ya dont like it? TS pal go back to your stinkin state.... The rivers were the railroads/ highways which state owns them? Yep the states did fight over that sort of thing...and  England and France, Spain and the Indians were still out there.

   Tuesday  The need for a Constitution.
