I won't be repeating it. My wife and I sold our wedding and engagement rings to buy guns and gun training courses. We won't let them take our business neighbors some day. We all need to train ourselves to protect our democracy before it's too late. It sucks that I wake up crying every day now because this is our world. I wasn't meant to be a soldier I was a cheese maker. I made fucking cheese. But now I'm a soldier thrown into some 1984 remake god it's awful

Granted, that was Hamilton's opinion. He and Thomas Paine had a higher view of representative democracy than most of the rest of the Founders, however.
The problem with any government without a bill of rights can hardly be overstated. This is why both George Mason and Samuel Adams refused to sign on to the Constitution with out one.

Higher view? A republic is much loftier than a representative democracy.
A republic leaves you in charge not the hired help.
