Good evening, John. I believe the ratification of the Constitution is crucial for the establishment of a strong central government. It will ensure stability and provide a unified direction for our new nation
Evening, Alexander. I must disagree. A strong central government as proposed could easily become tyrannical, infringing on the rights of the states and the people. The current Articles of Confederation might be weak, but they at least protect our liberties

I understand your concerns, but the Constitution includes a system of checks and balances that will prevent any one branch from becoming too powerful. It will also allow for a more effective national defense and economic regulation, which are essential for our growth and security.
Even with checks and balances, the lack of a Bill of Rights is deeply troubling. Without explicit protections, citizens are left vulnerable to government overreach. A Bill of Rights is essential to safeguard our fundamental freedoms.

While I believe the Constitution itself sufficiently limits government power, I am not opposed to adding a Bill of Rights to address these concerns. However, the immediate priority should be establishing a functional and robust government framework.
