Our Founding Fathers didn't want a two party system.
We have a bicameral legislature....so apparently more did than did not. Benjamin Franklin did not want a President....but we have one. So who agreed or disagreed is moot in view of what we ended up with.
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness....Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."
2nd Amendment. "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."
"Modernization" and "progressive" are just two words usually used by liberals to deny the plain sense meaning of our founding documents. Thus we have politicians like Gov. Brown and others who take it upon themselves to "infringe" without due process and lawful consent. We have a method of changing the words of our Constitution and it's amendments....Constitutional Convention...but so called "modernists" and "progressives" would rather change the meaning of the words to suit their own agenda rather than amend the amendments....there is great danger in that. If one of the Bill of Rights falls, the 2nd in this case, then all are subject to the same.
"The American war is over; but this far from being the case with the American revolution. On the contrary, nothing but the first act of the drama is closed. It remains yet to establish and perfect our new forms of government, and to prepare the principles, morals, and manners of our citizens for these forms of government after they are established and brought to perfection."
