The anti-federalist papers are not as widely known or available, for reasons that we become obvious. They thought the Constitution was too centralized, and that fear of chaos and anarchy was used to justify a powerful US government.
"The evils of anarchy have been portrayed with all the imagery of language in the growing colors of eloquence; the affrighted mind is thence led to clasp the new Constitution as the instrument of deliverance, as the only avenue to safety and happiness."
George Clinton, Antifederalist No. 6, The Hobgoblins Of Anarchy And Dissensions Among The States, Anti-Federalist Papers (1788)
I too am for localized everything and yes that requires re-thinking everything in a big way, EVERYTHING! IMHO decentralization and self-organization are the secret ingredients of freedom. Secret because our Leftist masters keep hiding and burying them.
"The act is truly terrifying, but more than the open tyranny that it would further, the act illustrates a very clear problem from the perspective of the state...."
Yes. One option to statutory law created by a few legislators that I like is common law. The people establish customs and make agreements that eventually become law. So laws come from the bottom up not the top down. Part of the British system is their common law. Don't know why our forefathers didn't add it to our system.
Our system was based totally on the common law at it's inception. NOT Roman statutory law. Check out the late George Gordon's School of Common Law. He was GENIUS on the subject. http://www.georgegordonschooloflaw.com/
Absolutely. One of the main goals of Leftists is to replace God with Gov. They want to wipe out Christianity and replace it with their religion. They don't believe that men are women. Their lies are used attacks on what is good and right.
Ron Paul hasn't even touched what the act will mean to all of us.
Thank you for writing this. It echoes my sentiments exactly.

Good article on the Restrict Act on Mises Wire.

We weren't supposed to have centralized power. Obviously, something went terribly wrong.
"The very definition of tyranny is when all powers are gathered under one place."
James Madison, Federalist Paper No. 47 (1788)
Agreed. One thought, if you read the Federalist Papers, also read the Anti-Federalist papers. Those guys were the ones who really loved liberty.
