Spooner’s views are very much consistent with the Founders. Just where in the hell do you think that whole “We the People” came from? The individual was to be Sovereign, not subject.

None of the Founders were anarchists.

It didn't come from anarchism or hell, but from natural law.

The individual was to be Sovereign, not subject.

The Founders did not imagine themselves to be setting up a system in which each individual was an absolute sovereign unto himself.
