We're so free, we can't regulate our own society. Bow before your government masters.

The Constitution was written because of what the preamble says. All those States left to their own devices in "the Confederacy" were a total screw-up, the government was broken. At least the Framers were more modest than people today, they wrote ". . . to form a more perfect government . . ". If it were to be written today it would probably say " . . . to form the most perfect government . . ."

Oh yeah we the people are so clever at regulating our own society, that's why the economy went into the toilet.
