The constitution was made to make taxation easier in the face of the US bankruptcy which morphed into an international bankruptcy/ restructuring. Hence the articles of confederations were abolished.

Not because these articles created oppression. But because they did not facilitate oppression enough! Enter therefor the henchman: Hamilton.

I have to give it to these people: they play the game very subtle.

That said, those who equate what Jefferson said to the oath to uphold the constitution is wrong-lead.

interesting observation, after discussing Jefferson' s preference for the happiness under "Indian" - conditions:

The Jeffersonian ideal, in short, was not a specific version of balanced republican government. It was a world in which individual citizens had internalized their social responsibilities so thoroughly that the political architecture Madison was designing was superfluous. Though prepared to acknowledge the need to make necessary compromises with his ideal for practical reason- the size of the American population and the vastness of its territory obviously demanded some delegation of authority beyond the sovereign self- he did so grudgingly.

I would say, a man as a sovereign, is not in need of a constitution: a together standing, but rather sees voluntary cooperation with mutual benefit as a necessary basis.
