Philadelphia Convention assembles ostensibly to draft and propose purely federal Articles--It drafts and proposes a “Constitution” with both national and federal powers--First Article is the constitution of American national government because it grants all the enumerated powers to interfere with human liberty of American citizens--Fifth and Seventh Articles relate to the grant of national power, though neither grant it--Other four Articles neither grant nor relate to grant of national power--Fifth prescribes constitutional mode for its future grant by American citizens in “conventions”--Also prescribes constitutional mode for future grant of federal power by state legislatures--Philadelphia knows and decides that legislatures can never grant national power and Articles are sent to “conventions” of “citizens,” as in 1776--Whole American people become a nation--American citizen first exists on June 21, 1788, when American citizens make their only grant of national powers--States and their citizens and constitutions and governments are made subordinate to citizens of America--These facts entirely forgotten in 1917. V. THE CONSENT OF THE GOVERNED _Page 55_ Education of personal experience, from 1775 to 1790, accurately taught science of government to average American--It taught him that citizens only can grant government power to interfere with human liberty, though legislatures can grant federal power to govern states--Modern leaders lack that practical education and the accurate knowledge it taught the early American--Modern average American has sensed something curious about making of Eighteenth Amendment--That he may understand what he senses and know why there is no such Amendment, must briefly consider the Constitution. VI. THE CONVENTIONS GIVE THE CONSENT _Page 64_ In conventions, whole American people themselves make Constitution--“Felt and acknowledged by all” that legislatures could never make First Article because it constitutes government of men--From early American, modern American learns that grant of power to govern men is the constitution of the government of men--Because First Article grants of that kind are enumerated, American government known as government of enumerated powers--Primal security to human freedom that citizens, not legislatures, grant all power of that kind--Because this primal security known to early Americans, their “conventions” insist that Constitution (Tenth Amendment) declare that every power of that kind not granted by American citizens remains with American citizens--Our own leaders have not known this security or understood that all ungranted powers of that kind were reserved by American citizens to themselves.
