I think America was a giant marketing campaign to get white men from Europe to conquer the new world. Nobody would risk their lives crossing the Atlantic just to be under another king. There had to be the allure of "freedom". Freedom that has never truly existed. Every time Americans insist on the freedom that was promised, the government mask comes off. Pay the whiskey tax. Live with niggers. Pay for a standing army. Go die in a war. Or rot in prison/die.
The constitution is the worst document compared to the bill of rights. It has such fluid language, it makes it ripe for abuse. Every amendment was intentionally left vague to allow for re intrpretation later on. A lot of states at the time were against the constittution, and would have preferred leaving it to the BOR only
