Isn't the Constitution just a license for the wealthy to exploit the masses?

Question

Written by wealthy slave owners, it has allowed a small group of families to dominate the USA for over 200 years.

Answer 1

very active imagination you have.

Answer 2

That's ridiculous. The constitution protects the rights of people and does the exact opposite of what you say. Terrorists are getting rights in our courts because of hte constitution or at least the way some liberals in the courts view it. The constitution also gives citizens the rights to own guns whihc will allow citizens to take on the government if the governmetn tries to dominate people unfairly.



I would also be curious to know whether you have ever even read the constition or if you are just spouting something cnn or one of your liberal professors said.

Answer 3

How has the Constitution allowed a small group to dominate?

Answer 4

2 of the 45 goals to instal communism in the US as written into the US congressional record in 1963



29. Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.



30. Discredit the American Founding Fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the "common man."

Answer 5

Small groups of families have wielded political power in every government of every country in history. Read a freaking book, Sherlock!



But in contrast to all other countries extant, we are protected from government abuse by the proper (constructionist) reading of the Constitution. A reading, by the way, which the Democrats and liberals and leftists eschew.



The founding basis of this country was that it allowed real freedom to the individual, to determine how to live and to speak his mind as he saw fit, with only a minimal government presence to interfere with his life.



This, even today, is a very radical idea. The freedom to live as one chooses and succeed or fail on one's own.

Answer 6

What are you talking about?



Have you ever read the Constitution? No the gradual elimination of our Constitutional rights is what is going to allow them to dominate us.



I'm going to go laugh now.

Answer 7

those slave owners as you called them were the foundation of this great country. you must remember no human being is infallible,it has given every citizen/legal resident and even illegal rights that many around the world lack. this country would no be today what it is without them our country has learn and will continue to grow and learn to protect others and that is the purpose our lord thy god had in mind when he allow this country to rise from the ashes.

Answer 8

Yes. And as long as the wealthy keep control, the few will continue to hold the vast majority of the power/wealth . Too bad they have only their own short sighted, narrow interests in mind.

Answer 9

I guess you've forgotten about Supreme Court rulings like Gideon v. Wainwright.
