So, when you're watching the government a few years down the road and a
majority of whom you are not a part does something truly abhorrent with
the power you've given them, what will you, having ceded much, if not a
majority, of your financial power and having wiped your ass with the
Constitution, do about it?
Vote 'em out? Sure, we get to vote people out of Federal office every
two years, but the framers knew that wasn't enough. Knew that
redistribution from the few to the many could keep a party (little p) in
power. Knew that the rights of a minority could be squashed in two
years. So, they limited the power of the government -- no matter how
well intentioned that government might be.
