Dead Constitution See other Dead Constitution Articles Title: Two Different and Distinct Nations Two Different and Distinct Nations "The idea prevails with some, indeed it has expression in arguments at the bar, that we have in this country substantially two national governments; one to be maintained under the Constitution, with all its restrictions; the other to be maintained by Congress outside and independently of that instrument, by exercising such powers as other nations of the earth are accustomed to... I take leave to say that, if the principles thus announced should ever receive the sanction of a majority of this court, a radical and mischievous change in our system will result. We will, in that event, pass from the era of a constitutional liberty guarded and protected by a written constitution into an era of legislative absolutism... It will be an evil day for American Liberty if the theory of a government outside the Supreme Law of the Land finds lodgment in our Constitutional Jurisprudence. No higher duty rests upon this court than to exert its full authority to prevent all violation of the principles of the Constitution." Honorable Supreme Court Justice John Harlan in the 1901 case of Downes v. Bidwell. pass from the era of a constitutional liberty guarded and protected by a written constitution This statement equals the Republic into an era of legislative absolutism This statement IS the Democracy. If you are confused by the above statement, sorry. And if you think that anything can change what is going on, then you have very little understanding of the Bible. The wisdom from above is . . . peaceable.—Jas. 3:17. Divine wisdom requires that we be peaceable. This involves our avoiding aggressiveness, a belligerent attitude, or actions that would disrupt peace. James expands on this point when he says: “The fruit of righteousness has its seed sown under peaceful conditions for those who are making peace.” (Jas. 3:18) Notice the expression “making peace.” Ecclesiastes 8:9 All this I have seen, and there was an applying of my heart to every work that has been done under the sun, [during] the time that man has dominated man to his injury. How does man dominate man to his injury? Through governments, religion, and commercial systems; all such systems will shortly disappear, as promised by Jehovah God in Daniel 2:44, and in the Book of Revelation 21:4 (and elsewhere in the Bible, of course). Pretty interesting reading, those, especially to those of us who truly understand what man has deliberately done to other men.
