"While I do not know what the goal is or what it should be. My personal goal would be to at least have Vermont style LTC everywhere and incorporation."

so? the founders thought everyone should have a small representative government, with limited power. the sheriff was the only person in a county with arresting power. the government was forbidden from printing paper money. the president was selected by the electoral college, and the runner up was the vice president. the commoner had little if any taxes to pay.

if this nice, limited system was so great, why did rhode island resist ratifying the constitution until they were threatened with invasion?

you might call it a matter of principle.
