RE DK CURRENT POST GREAT DISCUSSION
Very interesting thought provoking post.
This is one of my thoughts.....
Our constitution had more to do with problems of governance and faith, caused by and inherited from the Reformation, than with opportunities, or ostensibly secular contractarian ideas, emerging out of or generated after what is called the Enlightenment.
The Enlightenment, whatever it is, ended around the time of the American Rebellion, really a British civil war, and a war of religion, as well as a Europe wide conflict.
The heterodox dissenting radicalized Protestant colonists were aided by their deadly Papist enemies in France and Spain, as well as by their anti monarchist Protestant religious brethren in Holland.
