Since we are apparently living in a country where nine priests conduct seances with the ghost of Thomas Jefferson to determine life in the 21st century, let’s go back to their mindset.
When the Founders wrote the Constitution, they did not envision a crowd being whipped into a frenzy to legally declare war against an unbeatable nuclear state in a global environment dominated by the West. What they envisioned was exactly what happened: a local potentate rallying his army to attack the Congress. The Founders were but a century removed from Cromwell and the Stuart Restoration, they were well-versed in the politics of Rome and Greece, these guys were effectively humanities students at best. They weren’t thinking ‘tanks vs guy with taser’, they were fearing that which happened in France just a decade later, another ‘rabble’-lead movement.
Resurrect Ben Franklin, Hamilton, Jay, whoever… show them January 6th… they would not have any trouble calling Trump’s actions treason. No 18th-century intellectual man of the world would.
