In chapter 8 of these articles, we will answer the question, “What is wrong with allowing factions implement laws in which they benefit?” Our answer to this question will rely on the evidence we have observed through time. Through the history of mankind and over the past 235+ years of the existence of the United States of America, other forms of government have been created and have transformed or have vanished completely. The notion that the United States of America will continue into the future as it has always been and will continue to be a super power on the world stage is now debatable. The power that America represents is not within its Military or within its economic prowess, but in the feeling an individual has when living and growing under the constitution of the United States of America. The sense of Freedom and of Liberty that one can be and do whatever one chooses as long as they do not infringe on another person’s freedoms is the basis of this power each individual posses as citizens of the United States.
When we defined the constitution in its original form we only had two successful models to base the republic from which did not possess an anointed monarch, they were the Greek culture and the Roman culture. We will look into these societies and learn that they ultimately failed due to factions and their associated insurrections. Since that time we have had several different attempts to freedom as defined by the British and the French, we will review these attempts and try to extract some learning from how they have formed their government and the impact on the freedoms of their citizens. Finally, we will review the socially conscious governments of Russia and Cuba with their efforts to implement socialist and communist structures.
These discoveries will better prepare ourselves for the identification of flaws in our system as we have defined the constitution as of the late 1700’s. These flaws or defects will be outlined as structural challenges the current constitution faces with either constitutional process changes or significant changes in how qualified individuals are selected and brought to participate in the management of the governing entity we call the United States of America. Finally, we will leave the best for last, the discussion of the negative influence of Lobbyists on the government as a whole. Such that there is a need to institute the necessary controls so that laws are not generated to serve one group’s needs over another group’s needs. We will then explore how this effect can be “cancelled” through proper constitutional processes which can leave the “Lobbyist” at the door.
