5. How to ensure consent of the governed?
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...
--Declaration of Independence
“But whether the Constitution really be one
thing, or another, this much is certain —
that it has either authorized such a
government as we have had, or has been
powerless to prevent it. In either case it is
unfit to exist.”
-- Lysander Spooner
But why did it fail?
What should we replace it with?
How will we agree?
