Read the Constitution. It’s quite short, as such a document should be... not thousands of pages like most “laws” today. Once you see the enumerated powers granted to the government vs. all the crap it does (unconstitutionally), you’ll be dumbfounded.
Frankly, I think the Articles of Confederation were a better deal, but the US Constitution (were it adhered to) is a decent basis for a government.

James Madison was adamantly against laws that were bloated and indecipherable. Of course, the feds started making such laws as soon as he and the Founding Fathers were gone: https://pic8.co/sh/2XHHL9.jpg

We were taught that the AoC were bad largely because they permitted states to charge tariffs on interstate trade, and to create their own paper currencies of dubious value and then use them to steal property from the middle class (culminating in Shay's Rebellion). With runaway fiat currency--money printer go brrr--and SCOTUS having legalized states putting tariffs back onto interstate trade, we're in too many ways back to the AoC.
Though I'd say the best basis of government we've seen has been the Confederate States of America's Constitution, as it took the US Constitution and fixed what had proven to be its flaws. So many of our problems would be solved if Congress could only pass bills each about one specific issue, and that issue had to be the exact title of the bill. No riders, no pork, no more "pass the bill to find out what's in it"
But then again, no government can not be crap when it allows non-Whites into it. John Adams effectively said as much.
Are multiple-issue bills a recent thing? I fully agree here, why is it OK to tie orthogonal concepts into the same bill?
Similarly why is it ok to have "temporary measures" noone has really made a big deal about the fact that half the pork of the recent spending bill was renewals of temporary measures. such measures are the epitome of boiling the frog
Declaration of Independence = 1458 words
US Constitution = 4543 words un-amended
Bill of Rights (the first 10 Amendments) = 1436 words
There are about 470 words on a single space typed page (12 pt. Arial). All said & done it comes to about 16 pages.
"The Constitution" was a coup d'etat. A bunch of faggot "muh founders" went behind closed doors, created some new faggot document called The Toilet Paper, and declared it the new law because they were the elected fucks at the time.
Imagine Pelosi, Schumer, and Biden going behind closed doors and emerging saying, "Hey, Toilet Paper 3.0 here. You all must obey."
Meh, it would probably work.
E: , I want the two individuals that downvoted me punished. I am not spam nor am not contributing to the conversation. Let's keep things fair for the Voat folks getting hit with the stupid rule.
E2: I guess I should have added, "Ha, don't expect anything fair, just like the tyrannical faggot Constitution."
E3: o7
You left out the step where it had to be ratified by 9 out of the 13 States to be adopted. Until then, it was just paper.
You, for example, can write any paper you want. But you need people to agree with you to form a new government.
You know who else was validly "ratified" recently?
E: I left out nothing, John Snow.
E2:
But you need people to agree with you to form a new government.
You need some influencial folks to agree with it or use jew money to get others to agree with it. Let's not be unbecoming and speak the truth. The jews are running the show because of your faggot love of Muh Constitution.
I agree with your post but I down voted you because you cried about being down voted.
Oh, that is gay reasoning, but I accept it. Cheers!
I upvoted you. Hope you care about faggot fake Internet spoils!
