I could never wrap my mind around the formation of the united states, over 200 years ago, based on people agreeing. There was basically no technology back then. Their "software" was the constitution.
- AndrewKemendo 1y agoThe Continental Congress was famously held in secret. A small number of wealthy aristocrats waged war on their home country without the consent of the people they were governing. I don’t remember the powhatan or Lenape (Virginia-MD-PA tribes that were exterminated in order to build the core of the US trade and political networks) being consulted on any of this. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Powhatan https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Powhatan
