In the first three parts of this series, I have identified much of what the Founding Fathers expected and what they thought was needed for their fledgling constitutional republic to succeed for the ages. They presented their contemporaries and their descendants with a blueprint for what turned out to be the most successful, most generous, most loving, and most prosperous nation and society in human history. Unfortunately, yet foreseeably, they understood that when the nation got too comfortable, it might very well slip into tyranny as did every nation before it.
The Founders anticipated this and made provisions in the United States Constitution to provide citizens with the right, nay the obligation, to correct such a situation.
