Yeah. The Declaration of Independence was a Reddit post. The Constitution is the result of a bunch of 30 year old men arguing over what should and shouldn’t be in there, and one guy hopelessly transcribing their argument and hoping they’ll sign it because he’ll be buggered if he’ll copy all that out again.
(“The Vice President shall be the leader of the Senate, but shall have no Vote, unless they be equally divided.” Yes, that’s how having an odd number of voters works…)
It is good to know though that white Internet libertarians predate the Internet by about 2 centuries.
The Constitution came into effect nearly 13 years after the Declaration of Independence was signed.
