   What Article 1 of the US Constitution has to say about money.

   https://deanclancy.com/the-constitutions-seven-money-clauses/

   Only an amendment to the constitution could change the definition. Doesn’t Congress require 2/3 majority of both bodies to amend the Constitution? Alternately 2/3 of the States can agree to petition Congress. Then 3/4 of the States need to be in favour.

   The Constitution is a living document but was designed to be difficult to alter. Times do change. But money is Gold and Silver still. None of this Fiat crap we have.

   Here we are discussing American constitutional law from Canada, Columbia.
   “A republic, if you can keep it!” said Franklin. Well, they haven’t kept it. It’s now, I suppose, a kind of bureaucratic dictatorship, a technocracy , if you will. That’s not to cast aspersions! All the other western countries are far worse off, and less amenable to solution. Americans can rise up, and demand, through threat of legitimate revolution, a return to constitutional government, and the courts themselves can order it. When the rest of us are confronted with the force of arms, when we demand that our grievances be heard, we have no constitutional grounding. Peace, order and good governance is our constitutional mandate, as determined by the state. Canada’s Castro may just as well ask, “What are you going to do about it?”

     Most in the collective West are way too comfortable.

     Until they have moved down Maslow’s Hierarchy, to the existential level, they are not going to rise up.

     This assumes that they want to have a life, not in a hell hole.

     And if they do not rise up then, they deserve the consequences, and seal their own fate.

     The other alternative is to get out of Dodge, whilst they can. But most do not see what is coming, as they have little understanding of history.
