Although writing about San Francisco is fun, there’s only so much complaining and bringing things to light one can write about. Especially, while those in charge continue to ignore the warnings. I’ll still mix in some San Francisco and current event stuff as it arises. But I’m going to take some time to talk about the US Constitution. The Constitution is an evergreen topic for me. It’s history, politics, inception, creation, and various methods of interpretation affect all of us.
Our founding fathers were indeed flawed and very much products of their time. Yet it is because of the foundation they created that we, as a nation, can continue to improve upon our history. I'm grateful for their courage under fire.
And yes, I think we can all benefit from re-reading the Constitution, as well as re-studying American history.
I absolutely agree. They were men of their times. Without knowing the context of how their decisions were made, it’s much easier to make judgments using our modern morality.
It’s imperative that we all brush up on American history and the Constitution. So I’ll keep writing on them and try and help out ;-).
It is an amazing document. The world laughed at us and our crazy experiment.
Great article!

Well said! It's not fair to judge them by today's standards. They did the best with what they had at the time.
Glad you referenced the National Archives. I was just there last week (as part of a trip to advocate for police officers) and I was blown away.
Yeah it’s amazing those documents have survived. Great experience there.
