Thanks for these clarifications that constrict us from making what might considered logical opinions and understandings of how all this gobbledy-gook legality was layered to protect the rights and control of a dominant masculine few...
Thanks, Peter. Yeah, there was a reason 1/3 of Colonists left for Canada and another 1/3 supported England, leaving 1/3 who actively supported the 'revolution.' A bitter pill that most USAians will never swallow.
Thanks, Peter, helps simplify understanding what was deliberately made such a complicated system of verbiage and 'laws'. & "protect property from democracy" sums it up! And "more a coup d'état by an oligarchy of property owners and land speculators" reads like what some feel Trump & Co. doing overall, even with what seem some positive changes e.g. RFK Jr. caring about better food, etc. And Smith's "the indigence of the many" reflects a subtext of the word "Indigenous". Also, recently i learned that "ma'am" or "madam," which i had thought was old school formal respect, is from "my lady," from Latin "mea domina", as in possessed and dominated
