[quote=Anonymous][quote]Yes, the reason we have federalism is that a bunch of white men, almost all of whom were wealthy, many of whom owned slaves, thought it was a good idea in 1787 to set the US government up that way. They may have been correct -- but that's not the reason we have federalism.[/quote] Why does the color of the people who formed the government matter to you? The founders were very worried about a central power (like England) running their lives. They really believed in LIBERTY and PERSONAL FREEDOMS. Note the importance of the BILL OF RIGHTS. This was not all about being white and wealthy. It was about wanting FREEDOM from England's tyrannical rule. The Constitution tries to prevent the kind of tyranny that suffocates. They were correct my friend. Freedom is always better. People will fight for it. [/quote]
