>>4327587I'm not sure if you knew this but this is something I found out through independent research: do you know our Bill of Rights? Well, as it turns out, the Freemasons at the time who mostly masqueraded as the Federalists didn't want to add that to the Constitution. It had to be forced through by the largely non-Mason Anti-Federalists. Otherwise they would've had the Constitution without protections for the citizenry.
