Constitution 601 Theory.  ll
In 1781, The new USA was little kid in the school yard alone for the first day of school. Yes. England had agreed to our independence; but only a fool figured England defeated. France and Spain, both far more powerful than the young USA, were still out there. The kings of Spain and France helped us to weaken England, not becouse they approved of Republics; for that matter, some of the Indian nations were still as, if not more powerful than the young USA, as long as England, which they would, would trade guns for fur. We were deeply in debt to Europe and I dont think we could even make cannon on a large scale as most of our manufactured goods came from Europe. Yet, with all that, Men still insisted on a Bill of Rights before they would accept the security and unity of the Constitution.
Tomorrow: The middle class and the idea of contract.
