Whoa, hang on.. Australia is just as ethnically diverse as the US is..
not quite but the point is still that majority is a lot more complex when you have fifteen times the population

You mean our right to privacy is getting raped in the arse in the name of national security..

did I not just say there are a lot of legal arguments in play? it's not nearly as clear cut as you want to act like it is
and arse isn't a word, speak real english
Correct. I think Jefferson is a good enough person to speak for the *intent* of the Constitution. And really it's stare decisis, just like the Right to Privacy.
Then why is Madison called the Father of the U.S. Constitution? Madison was one of three writers of the Federalist Papers. Alexander Hamilton and John Jay being the other two. Even Alexander Hamilton would blanch at what the federal government has become.
Not even Jefferson's Declaration of Independence survived the committee (John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, Robert R. Livingston, and Roger Sherman) without major changes. One of the most notable changes was from "life, liberty, and property" to "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" because the Founding Fathers did not want slavery to have a legal basis in one of our founding documents.
Yes it is a factor. The larger the population, the greater the chance for disagreement.No it's not. Majority is hard when you have such a divided country like the US is.. Size of your population is not a factor is this at all..

No. Sorry.. Think about what you are saying..
And after thinking about it, it's still true.
No, no, no, no, NO.I'll say it again. Stare decisis. Additionally, it's been CONTINUALLY upheld by SCOTUS.
And lets not forget why this country was founded. Religious freedom, right? Why on Earth would the Framers want religion in government? That's exactly what they were getting away from England for.
Please explain.

How about coming up with a logical reason as to why then.

If you have a larger group of people you have a larger variety of opinions. How are you not getting this?
You haven't noticed that the larger the group of people, the dumber their ideas are? We are like sheep, in essence. How many people believe in what you believe in? A VERY small percentage...
Plus ... on the previous topic... isn't the Patriot Act the biggest privacy rape of this country?
