The United States is not a democracy. We need a democratic constitution! A media wing of the Democratic Constitution Blog.
This is part two of a two-part conversation. Here, Terry continues the conversation on resistance to tax collection and property concentration after the revolution. He covers the elitist reaction to the 1776 Pennsylvania Constitution, including the 1787 federal Constitution and its ratification, and the imposition of a new Pennsylvania Constitution in 1790. The conversation ends with the anti-Federalists and their strikingly relevant critique of executive power.
Woody Holton’s work is mentioned. I recently spoke with Jason Maloy about the Paine-Adams debate and the 1776 Pennsylvania Constitution’s unicameral structure and expanded suffrage base.
