I'm reading a compilation called "The Anti-Federalist", compiled by Herbert J. Storing.
Hopefully my readers are familiar with the collection called "The Federalist Papers". It's easy to imagine the framers of the Constitution working in a vacuum, but it's really not the case. The reason we have the bill of rights is because the dissenters made their points clearly and aggressively.
Dissent can be patriotic, absolute compliance results in unchecked government.
I aim to have more up on this later, after I take care of a few things.
