In short: Biden’s electoral fraud was the “more perfect union” the Federalists dreamed of, since it’s how they ratified the US Constitution in the first place.
A bit more: The media has been manipulating the public for longer than anybody in media or government wants you to realize. They alleged a “national crisis” was being “caused” by the Articles of Confederation (A:C), and an emergency convention was gathered to discuss plans for revisions. Instead, it was secretly a back door coup intended to scrap the A:C all along.
There were two factions: Federalists demanding a stronger central government, led by Benjamin Franklin and Alexander Hamilton, among others, and Anti-Federalists who saw the lack of central power as a positive, led by Patrick Henry and George Mason.
The Federalists already had a new document of incorporation drafted, penned by “moderate” James Madison to make it more palatable. Thus began the debates and revisions.
Many of Madison’s own efforts to restrain the federal government, such as limiting representation to no greater than 40,000 constituents per in the House (for clarity, there are Reps in Los Angeles with 500,000) were struck down by the Federalists who fully intended to use the limited volume of the House to keep control and bribery of the body manageable, culminating in the eventual locking of the body at 435 members in 1913 (the same year as the Federal Reserve Act and Federal Income Tax).
The anti-federalists, concerned the new Constitution might pass, demanded enshrinement of rights. Madison initially resisted, fearing the enumeration would result in restriction to only those rights rather than the Lockean understanding of universal rights to Life, Liberty and Property.
In the end, possibly realizing his less moderate fellow Federalists might take advantage of the absence if it went unspoken, and hoping to mollify the anti-federalists, he eventually (in 1789) penned the first ten amendments, now known as the Bill of Rights, even with the “reservation clause” of the tenth expressly limiting federal powers to only those listed in the Constitution. The new US Constitution passed the Convention and went to the states to be ratified.
The Federalists, representing the wealthy (((banking and industrial))) interests, ran letters in newspapers in all the cities called the “Federalist Papers” in essence, political ads to drive support. The anti-federalists penned similar letters denouncing the new Constitution as a gateway to tyranny.
The Federalists controlled most of the newspapers and US Postal system. They intentionally suppressed the distribution of anti-federalist materials much the way the modern media locks out perspectives on issues it doesn’t want addressed, driving the narrative a particular direction.
Ratification took time, but once the Bill of Rights was added, the Constitution became more popular. Unfortunately, Bill of Rights may very well be the reason we have the government we do today, not for their content, but because without them, it’s unlikely the Constitution would have been ratified, granting the central government the authority it wanted all along and slowly weathering away the “rights” found in the first ten amendments as the model of “crisis begets tyranny” continued to unfold over the three centuries since it became the law of the land.
This has triggered me to research the topic further, thanks niggerfaggot.
The anti-federalists penned similar letters ...
They were in the "Federalist Papers" as well.

Nah, tyranny will always find support in the weak. You are kidding yourself otherwise.
E: But nice write up. I would give you an A+ even as a leftist teacher.
The difference being that the Articles of Confederation were a dirt road to tyranny, while the US Constitution was a paved superhighway.
All laws systems are a road to tyranny. So I have no argument against you.
I'd still like the yee-haw dirt road to tyranny.

LAWRZ. Hopefully I remember to read your tirade.
