  1. that gov.would get to big


  2. It was about 2 things taxation and the government allowing companies to set or fix high prices( see the declaration of Ind. for proof)

    The purpose was to prevent any other type of government but a democratic republic from taking its place.

    Companies without regulations is known as a facist system!

    Like we have now!

  3. Decode this lyrics "Yesterday once more"

    What is there to fear about?

    Luke 5.36-39

    Decode this lyrics " Let your love grow"

    Luke 9.55-56

    What do you think?

  4. I assume you are talking about the convention of 1789 and not some new constitution that is being proposed.  

    Most people didn't fear anything because they didn't know what was going on anyway.  However, the ones that did know thought too much power would be given to the national government.  

    It is important to understand that, before the Revolutionary War, the States were not united. They were basically 13 seperate entities.  To help understand this, imagine that Canada, the US and Mexico all decided to form a single country.  Who would be in charge? Would Mexico be able to decide Canada's future? Do you really believe that Mexico would just let the US take over?  This is sort of what was going on at the convention.  Each state knew that, together, they be stronger than if they remained individual "Countries". (United we stand, Divided we Fall.)  But none of the States wanted to give up too much of their power.  After all, they had just thrown off a King and had become independent.  Why trade one ruler for another one?

    There's is actually a lot more to this but this was the general idea.
