Happy Constitution Day!

The American Revolution and the (imperfect) Constitution we created from it was an outlier among political revolutions in history. Although some among the founders were in it for a power grab, most were sincere and we won freedom.

Here's how revolutions typically play out...

Revolutionary leader says, "oppressed, blah, blah, blah, injustice, blah blah, blah, corrupt, blah, blah, incompetent, blah, blah...<insert list of contemporary grievances> ... Therefore, give me absolute power because only I can fit this..."

(Sometimes that last part is disguised as, "power to the people and I'll decide what the people want." )
