That wasn’t the goal of the Founding Fathers. Their goal was to put a check on that very sort of thing happening.

Remember Tacitus’ words? “Laws were most numerous when the state was most corrupt.” No state is eternal, especially when being attacked from within. The Founding Fathers learned from history; leftists unilaterally reject history.
