This cycle reflects Cole's pessimism, and is often seen as a commentary on Andrew Jackson and the Democratic Party. (Note, for instance, the military hero at the centre of "Consummation.") However, some Democrats had a different theory of the course of empire. They saw not a spiral or cycle but a continuing upward trajectory. Levi Woodbury, a Democrat and a justice of the United States Supreme Court, for instance, responded to Cole by saying that there would be no destruction in the United States

I-I-It won't happen!!!!!

yeah thomas cole was an artistic genius

if you note the small details in each image

painting

you can see the beginning of decadence

in consumation

very strange how profoundly aware of history the founders were and how ignorance had already penetrated the supreme court only a generation later

it's real fuckin good

im hurt

seems like america has been declining since around 1800

but i doubt americans will be able to compute that until at least 200 years from now

@F-Star did you know the founders actually thought that the constitution wouldnt last long

they knew

no they didn't

learned about this when i took AP government

i think it was ben franklin who answered the question of what kind of country are you leaving for us

saying "a republic, if you can keep it"

the idea for the american government has always been to be a republic

ehh idk

but they thought that the constitution would end up like the Articles of Confederation at some point

would be replaced and thrown out

there were the federalists and the antifederalists

some people think america should have stopped at the articles of confederation

yeah

and seeing constitution as it is today, i think they were right

the officials of the states were actually tricked into writing a new constitution

they didn't call for a constitutional assembly at first

and fucking george washington

imagine being such a chad that people gathered together just bc you were involved

the guy was a complete badass

he was a popular politician

http://www.michaeltsarion.com/constitution-con.html

What's nebuliac

wasnt washington super insecure about his upbringing

washington was gay

and a mediocre general who seemed better than he was due to circumstances out of his control

Yeah bc he was a freemason

the american people needed a hero

even if the hero wasnt that great at his job

yeah i wouldnt be surprised if the drafting of the constitution was surrounded by occult shit

as far as im conerned, washington just went with the flow and was indifferent

washington was a freemason after all

(((American))) (((people))) needed a (((hero)))

the original constitution was fine and dandy, but later changes really made a difference

from freedom to slavery

slavery to the crown, apparently

14th amendment is overpowered

needs a nerf

come to think of it

has too many clauses

What's the 14th

repeal everything after the bill of rights <:dabler:401044511809077249>

@Rael

it wont ever happen though

stop legalized slavery

```
No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
```

explains how citizenship works and abolished slavery

14th amendment

didnt abolish slavery

imo The point of foreigners babies born in america being citizens was Mostly for immigration FOR THE TIME rather than "freedoms" ????

it made slavery constitutional

isnt it old fashion now

to have that in

pretty sure it forced blacks to be treated the same as whites

if you in jail you're constitutionally a slave

under the eye of the law

14th actually has a fuck ton of shit in it

they could put all the shit they wanted in it

weren't the southern states forced to support the 14th as a condition of their re-entry into the union

even though lincoln allegedly fought a civil war to keep the union, at the last minute he could take it or leave it like it was no big deal

```
All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside.

this has cucked the U.S to a great degree
