Okay, here we go....

...Independent of parties in the national legislature itself, as often as the period of discussion arrived, the State legislatures, who will always be not only vigilant but suspicious and jealous guardians of the rights of the citizens against encroachments from the federal government, will constantly have their attention awake to the conduct of the national rulers, and will be ready enough, if any thing improper appears, to sound the alarm to the people, and not only to be the VOICE, but, if necessary, the ARM of their discontent.

- Alexander Hamilton, Federalist No. 26

(It is obvious that the Framers were operating under the impression that our government system could never become AS CORRUPT as it has. Of course in their day there was sense of DUTY, HONOR and INTEGRITY. As well as a respectful FEAR of the peoples ability to PUT DOWN TYRANNY. In continuation of FEDERALIST #26, it is evident that Hamilton has trouble comprehending the possiblity of such TREASON happening here. But, of course Alex does come up with THE REMEDY - outlined below).
*
Schemes to subvert the liberties of a great community require time to mature them for execution. An army, so large as seriously to menace those liberties, could only be formed by progressive augmentations; which would suppose, not merely a temporary combination between the legislature and executive, but a continued conspiracy for a series of time. Is it probable that such a combination would exist at all? Is it probable that it would be persevered in, and transmitted along through all the successive variations in a representative body, which biennial elections would naturally produce in both houses?

Well Alex, I think we have a problem here. Let us say; what if The Peoples State legislatures were the ones Un-Constitutionally ENCROACHING

upon their Citizens National Rights?

*

And they JOINED UP WITH THE FED IN JOINT ENCROACHMENTS?

*

What do we do then?

*

And, if the next SUPPOSED SafeGuard in the equation refuses to hear or act about those usurpations?

(Yes S.C.O.T.U.S., I'm referring to you!)

*

And, that the WHOLE STRUCTURE IS CORRUPT

from head to toe - Federal and State!

*

Tell us, Alex, WHAT DO WE DO THEN?

*

Well America, funny you should ask, because Mr. Hamilton had a plan for that as well!...
*
...Is it presumable, that every man, the instant he took his seat in the national Senate or House of Representatives, would commence a traitor to his constituents and to his country?

(Yes, indeed Alex I'm afraid that it can be!)

*

Can it be supposed that there would not be found one man, discerning enough to detect so

atrocious a conspiracy,

or bold or honest enough to apprise his constituents of their danger? If such presumptions can fairly be made, there ought at once to be an end of all delegated authority.

The people should resolve to recall all the powers they have heretofore parted with out of their own hands, and to divide themselves into as many States as there are counties, in order that they may be able to manage their own concerns in person.

(Speaking of standing armies)...But it is an evil infinitely less likely to attend us in a united than in a disunited state; nay, it may be safely asserted that it is an evil altogether unlikely to attend us in the latter situation.

It is not easy to conceive a possibility that dangers so formidable can assail the whole Union, as to demand a force considerable enough to place our liberties in the least jeopardy,
especially if we take into our view the aid to be derived from the militia,
which ought always to be counted upon as a valuable and powerful auxiliary.
But in a state of disunion (as has been fully shown in another place), the contrary of this supposition would become not only probable, but almost unavoidable.

GIVE US OUR COUNTRY BACK - TRAITORS!
