We have all heard about and extolled the virtues of the Constitution. It has
even been said that it is divinely inspired. Originally, however, there was the
Articles of Confederation, which was in e!ect prior to the Constitution. Did we,
do we, need the Constitution? What was wrong with the Articles of Confederation?
Anything at all? Listening to many patriotic individuals lends the impression
that the Constitution is positively wonderful. "e Articles of Confederation,
on the other hand, seems to be all but forgotten. Today we hear of the
NESARA law and, with it’s implementation, the possibility of turning back the
clock, i.e., dissolving all statutory law back to just before the Civil War, circa
1860. On the surface, this would seem to be just what the proverbial doctor ordered.
Is it? Is 1860 su#ciently far back? Perhaps we should reconsider.
