We definitely have to be informed, properly informed—and very knowledgeable. I think the framers of the Constitution thought of that as a given. There’s a lot of talk about the religiosity of these guys—but they were Enlightenment men inside and out. Rational, scientific, and could definitely recognize a slippery slope argument. I can easily see them arguing for days about the precise wording of the Bill of Rights.

I always liked the term “Providence”. It was used a lot in the “Founder’s” era.

I sometimes think that the politics of today is child’s play compared to what when on in the late 1700’s.
