As an aside, Americans have never trusted govt, as a general rule. The Constitution was written to restrain govt power.
@jesseltaylor agreed, & part of point was stronger fed govt. But design was still w/ eye toward restraint. That's why BoR was part of deal.

@DavidMDrucker It seems contradictory to say that the Constitution was set up to both strengthen and weaken the federal government. -
@jesseltaylor@DavidMDrucker Why? Can't do two things at once? -
@AlexParkerDC@DavidMDrucker They're opposing things. -
@jesseltaylor@DavidMDrucker Well the 10th amendment kinda seems like a weird thing if your goal is to strengthen the federal gov't. -
@AlexParkerDC@DavidMDrucker Particularly when the government it replaced was far, far weaker. -
@jesseltaylor@AlexParkerDC I don't think we necessarily disagree.
