D- Slavery was also a part of the 1787 *deal*.

The folks in 1861-1865 paid the very high price to get rid of such part of 
the deal -- circa 620,000 dead and tens of thousands maimed for life -- no 
eyes, hands, arms, legs.

The large States and the know-it-all media are continuously politically 
moronic in not continuously attacking the anti-democratic parts of the 1787 
*deal*.

How many minority rule oligarchies (or monarchies) in the last 7,000 years 
have ever voluntarily given up their evil minority rule power (or veto power) 
???
