But why am I supporting localized government? Because people can choose how they are governed at a local level, if they are upset, it's often very simple to change with a small group of people. It's far more difficult to change a Federal government than a localized one.
If I were at the Constitutional Convention I would have been with Jefferson, I'm an Anti-Federalist. (And just because not everyone agrees completely on the Constitution doesn't make it useless. The whole part about "due process" and the right to trial by jury, that's usually a good thing, even though some may oppose it due to lack of expediency.) Unless someone doesn't believe in human rights, which is quite possible.
