Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826), wrote in 1799: "I do then, with sincere zeal, wish an inviolable preservation of our present federal Constitution, according to the true sense in which it was adopted by the states, that in which it was advocated by its friends, and not that which its enemies apprehended, who therefore became its enemies." And while serving as the third president of the United States, wrote in 1801: "The Constitution on which our Union rests, shall be administered by me according to the safe and honest meaning contemplated by the plain understanding of the people of the United States at the time of its adoption--a meaning to be found in the explanations of those who advocated, not those who opposed it, and who opposed it merely lest the construction should be applied which they denounced as possible."

In his farewell address published in Philadelphia's "American Daily Advertiser" September 19, 1796, George Washington (1732-1799) wrote: "The basis of our political systems is the right of the people to make and to alter their constitutions of government. But the constitution which at any time exists til changed by an explicit and authentic act of the whole people is sacredly obligatory upon all. The very idea of the power and the right of the people to establish government presupposes the duty of every individual to obey the established government."

If you look at the way the majority of our federal judges issue rulings nowadays, it seems as though they are reading the Constitution through the complicated understanding of a federal judge according to the manipulated sense in which it is interpreted at the time of its adulteration. It seems that the Constitution is changed by an implicit and presumed wish of the majority of the people as perceived by a particular federal judge.
