Permission vs. Mutual Desire: The Constitution, Ben Franklin and Despots
Update: 2019-12-23
Description
As the world has become more concerned with the letter rather than the spirit of the law, litigiousness is favored above kindness. Benjamin Franklin's last speech written for the Constitutional Convention of 1787 remarks that the document as an instrument of government is only effective with good leadership and claims despotism befalls a corrupt people. The current president's recent impeachment is a consequence of the current zeitgeist that values rights over responsibility.
