BOBBITT INTRODUCTION

WHAT IS THE DECLARATION FOUNDED ON, AFTER ALL?

A group of representatives acting outside their authority. This was also Palmer's and others' view, so I am in rather good company.

The convention exceeded its authority. 

The truths it held were anything but self evident.

Of course, Bobbitt does not get into all of that, here, on his shallow Whig mission to attack Trump, but few in this country are better placed academically to take the point.

See: The Language Of Liberty, p. 86. Blackstone's conception of sovereignty, while hardly perfect, was better than what the American colonists ultimately put in its place, and better than their philosophical rationale for it, never mind their bankrupt theology.

This is what is self evident:

Men were never created, governing governed self governing or ungoverned, in a natural law state of nature, as equals.

The power relationships within a family and clan typify gender assymetricality rather than equality, and would presumably have been based, in prehistoric no less than early modern times, in the last analysis, on the urgency of animal group survival.
