Is the Constitution Really Inimical To States Rights? Part 6
Posted Yesterday at 10:44 PM
by Al Benson Jr.Al Cronkrite, a freelance Reformed Christian writer living in Florida, has written several articles dealing with the Constitution and why it is not really what we have been taught to believe it is. In an article in The Covenant News in July of 2009 Mr. Cronkrite noted that most today view our Founders as mostly Christian men "...who produced documents that, if they were not expressly Christian, contained Christian principles. Others find it strange that Christian men would fail to encode the name of the Savior or refer to His dominion." That thought brings a different dimension to the question--one that Gary North referred to earlier.
Mr. Cronkrite, along with others, has also observed that: "The Philadelphia Constitutional Convention in the Summer of 1787, was a secret gathering convened for the purpose of revising the Articles of Confederation. It was an elite group that Jefferson described as 'demigods'. Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and probably President George Washington had no intention of abiding by the instructions from congress to revise the Articles. Their intention was to form a new federal government which they believed the states would accept in order to solve the problems they were having in conducting their inter-state affairs. They were conspiratorial and dishonest in their actions but right in their political assessment...Patrick Henry of Virginia claimed he 'smelled a rat' and refused to attend."...................
