I'm enjoying the book. I'm happy to see your as free as ever and working on freedom! Great choice to come to Hive too.
I agree, I would like to expand on this:
our Constitution and the system of government it has established have failed.
The agreements are words on paper. And yea, this is a good time to upgrade. Lets try to keep an important view point when learning from the past: constitutions are just words on paper, the responsibility lies on the people to keep any agreement like this healthy. Evidence of this are amendments that we don't agree with or were not even ratified properly but still enforced. So, anytime I don't yet have specific details on precisely where the constitution failed, I tend to look at how the people may have failed and contributed to this.
I really like Anna Von Reitz's work. She does a good job making the case that the people have not been running the Republic claiming that this is the missing 3rd branch branch of the government. We learned that their are three branches of government, however, we were not taught that only two were in operation and "We the People" are the third branch. Her case is that we have had no Republic at all for nearly 100 years. The people were not showing up. Basically it sounds like we have been running on only 2 branches and "left to their own devices" the children (the corporate side) have gotten into all kinds of trouble. It is a very different view that both explains a lot and empowers people to do something. However, Anna is probably not the one to re-architect or decentralize version 2.0 (if there is to be a version 2.0). So, I'm not advocating we all do it Anna's way and call it a day. I do see her work as a very valuable piece of the puzzle if we are to stand on the shoulder's of the giants that came before us.
The people need to be responsible for such a creature or it can and will get out of control. And clearly, we should never have outsourced our education to any such creature of fiction (a commercial agreement among union states).
In the end, it makes since to me that we would want to form unions to protect ourselves from foreign jurisdictions. It is kind of like documenting our right to bear arms but trying to scale it up. And it makes even more since to use our technology to further decentralize these agreements so fictions like counties (in addition to States) have documented decentralized agreements with checks and balances.
Also, we should know that a Constitution is a contract used to create Constitutors.
CONSTITUTOR constitutor (kon-st-t[y]oo-tr), n. [Latin “an orderer, arranger”]
Roman law.
A person who, by agreement, becomes responsible for the payment of another's debt.
~ Black's Law Dictionary (8th ed. 2004)
Gives new meaning to the saying: All roads lead to Rome.
Under International law the debt created by "The Constitution of the United States of America" would have been forgiven in 2019 in a something known as a Great Debt Forgiveness Jubilee. Given that golden nugget of knowledge, I'm thinking Constitution is not the right word for version 2.0.
