“Let me add that anyone who thinks that there could be another Constitutional Convention with equal success as the first one - is a fool - because less than half of the people at the table would share even a smidgeon of our Founders knowledge in virtue.”

I do believe that the French Revolution was so different from the American one because of the divergent and enlightenment-leaning philosophies of the French.

As much as Thomas Jefferson tried to help, he could not put them all philosophically on the same page.

That is why their revolution was so bloody and ended so disastrously and why we ended up with our noble Constitution.
