I'd like to return to the Articles of Confederation

I wish some people would run to restore them instead of the larger and more suffocating-government that the Constitution enables.

The Constitution or liberty?

If the foundation of our case for liberty is nothing more than the Constitution -- rather than natural-law justice -- we will continue to be trumped by our opponents. After all, the Constitution was in effect all during the time the national government expanded and liberty shrank. As Lysander Spooner wrote, the Constitution "has either authorized such a government as we have had, or has been powerless to prevent it." Liberty's champions have to come to terms with that logic.
