Constitutional reality is right-biased.
- kube-system 4y agoThe US constitution and the bill of rights are based on classical liberal ideas, like inalienable rights, the consent of the governed, secularism, etc.
- puffoflogic 4y agoThose are all right-wing ideas. "Classical liberalism" is a misleadingly named far-right ideology; it's diametrically opposed to progressivism.
- kube-system 4y agoNot at all. Those ideas were formed in a time when they were not the norm. State religion is about as conservative as you can get, it has existed for all of human history, and was the default until very recently. When the US constitution was adopted it was a progressive change. However, yesterday's progressivism is always today's status quo.
