Unless you've read and studied the documents our system of governance was founded upon it's easy to understand your point of view pulse.

While our founders could never have envisioned the complexities of our modern society, that in itself is irrelevant.

Their understanding of humanity and human nature, how power can be used to corrupt and subvert the concepts of righteousness and justice led them to having crafted such a finely tuned system of checks and balances that continually limited the capability of governmental over reach and instead rested the bulk of all power and liberty within the people themselves that all that would be required was adherence to its tenets as a near perfect basis for all that could follow without the need for knowing what that would even be.

You cats from other parts of the world can hold whatever opinion you care to regarding our system of governance as well as the basis it's founded upon, just make sure you grok the fullness of it and truly know and understand what it is you think you're judging 1st.
