Freedom is always under siege from the roving bandits that seek to tyrannize and plunder the free. To protect themselves, the Founding Fathers of the United States erected the Constitution as a citadel of freedom. Like Minas Tirith, it was built with seven walls. From outer to inner, the walls are:
A written constitution.
A vertical separation of powers.
A horizontal separation of powers.
A government of enumerated powers.
A government of mixed type.
A bill of enumerated rights.
An acknowledgment of unwritten rights.
All seven walls have been breached, or worse — many of the gates were opened by naïve fools, would-be tyrants, and disloyal magistrates, or left unmanned by a decadent and distracted citizenry.
This was a three part series. I found it to be pretty good and thought I'd pass it along.
