PJT04,



The author of that piece speaks for himself. Let me ask you this....what if I accept the Constitution as a contract now? Does that make it null and void?



My point is that the author cannot speak for me now since he is dead. So just because he did not accept and enforce the contract does not make it null.



The author defeated his own words when he died--although he made a point--he has boxed himself in his own words. What I mean is, if he believes the Constitution to be null and void after their deaths--then so are his words since he is dead.



Further he cannot speak for people in the future, just as he has stated the fore fathers cannot. So since this is the case, and I have free-will, I can choose to enact that contract--especially since I am alive.



So if dead forefathers can't contract--neither can a dead author argue the validity of a contract. Just because he did not accept the contract, does not mean no one else can. That's one part of it that makes it a living do***ent-IMHO.
