“No good deed goes unpunished.” ~ Ancient idiom

This is the fifth in my series to review history, and I hope for a better understanding of why the United States of America is facing what it is facing in 2026.

In this part, I will address what has gone on in the United States of America, which has its own unique set of problems.

250 years ago, 56 men chose to declare the 13 colonies no longer subjects of the British Crown.

The success or failure of this new form of government that would depend on an informed citizenry, a common set of ethical values, and a willingness of the citizenry to actively participate in the governmental process. In other words, a government of the people, for the people, and by the people.

Those 56 men and the others that joined them to complete the Constitution probably represented the brightest, most educated gathering of men in the history of American politics. These men not only knew what was necessary from a government structural sense, but they also had a comprehensive understanding of human nature and the foibles thereof. In their many writings, these men foresaw the human flaws that could cause the downfall of the government they had designed. In regard to human behavior, there is nothing new since biblical times. Each generation comes along and thinks it is smarter and wiser than the previous generations. The reality is that they are simply trying to put new lipstick........
