Williamson makes several great points about the origins of the Constitution of the United States in contrast with our reality. He talks about how the things mentioned in the constitution sound great but has never truly been enacted. All of these desires may have been the poor English white man’s dream which brewed inspiration to go and seek out a better life. However, to do so the \u201cfounding fathers\u201d took those same realities from another group of people to promote their agenda and then reframed the picture to make themselves look good.<\/p>\n
I love that Williamson talked about the definition and reality of the word democracy that the US claims so proudly. It requires \u201csense and fairness\u201d and \u201cdemocracy is not a form of government that guarantees justice.\u201d Williamson also explains that when this equality is missing from the idea of democracy, doors are opened to constant grievances, moral resentment, social rancor, and social instability.\u201d\u00a0 In order to truly fix our government and create a nation that is what it has pretended to be for centuries, we must all be educated on the past. Everyone needs to learn the truth about the past and present horrors that exist in our country. You can never fix a broken pipe if no one ever acknowledges that it was broken. And it would equally as unwise to fix the pipe without investigating and finding out what caused it to burst in the first place. We need to fix the root cause and replace the pipe and we need to stop pretending like the pipe is not broken. Only after we acknowledge this will we be anywhere close to a truly democratic government that grants its people life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
