Our system was ultimately based on the legal fictions of the sovereignty of The PEOPLE, and contract. Ideas going back to Locke and before.
These grounds were not trotted out however until the mid 1770s, after the foundations for a rebellion had been formulated, and sporadically begun, on other, long established dissenting theological grounds.
ANY REASONABLE ATTEMPT TO CHANGE OR EVEN FUNDAMENTALLY REFORM THIS SYSTEM IS DOOMED TO FAILURE.
IT IS NOT MERELY A PRACTICAL IMPOSSIBILITY, BUT ALSO A CONCEPTUAL ONE.
