The ideal of the Government of the People, By the people, & For the People. should be much appreciated along with Freedom of Religion, yet this too is subject to degradation, as a reflection of the people losing faith.
A few of our Founders didn’t want certain segments of the population to vote.
The ideal of Government for the people, by the people, etc. is great, but when it comes down to practice…it’s always been what…40% of people vote?
And our politicians have always been corrupt, enriching themselves. Cronyism has been rife since day one.
The original constitution left it entirely up to the states. A state was (and is) a sovereign entity. Different states had different opinions. The union was tenuous. You can’t legislate perfect agreement, Amendments to the US constitution were enacted as time marched on and agreements were made.
If you hate the USA so much, you are free to leave.
