The Constitution.
The Constitution.
Constitution 101Who do you want to control the laws & why?
the people of course, through the (people's) government.Hello Everybody
Who do you want to control the laws & why?
lol.....jerry seinfeld....Chuck Norris.
Other - reality.
And if The Constitution told you to jump off a bridge (or to use government force to maintain a monopoly on regular delivery of civilian snail-mail), would you?
And remember that politicians can amend it at any time...
Whch brings up the question:That would require a convention and a majority vote to happen...
While it's possible.. it's also not very likely.

The Constitution. Not a Mob. Not a Despot. Not an Oligarchy.
The workers of the world united.

The Constitution has its basis in natural law, which is what you are advocating, so I don't understand what the problem is. So long as we actually follow it our individual negative liberties will be assured.
And who should write that constitution?

It's already been written.
By who?
I know that Americans have a quasi-religious relationship to their constitution but it was not handed down by God - it was written by wealthy white men taking care of their own class interests.
The Founding Fathers.
That they were wealthy white men does nothing to undermine the brilliance of the Constitution; unless, of course, you are suggesting that wealthy white men are incapable of forming a rational and morally just form of governance?
If you have any substantive criticisms of their political philosophy I'd be happy to hear them. Just remember, that the least of the Founders probably had more intelligence in their pinky toe than you or I do in our whole body...
