Jack of Harts Politics
The Convention of States changed the very nature of the America that walked out of it. Some changes were minor. Returning the election of Senators to the State legislatures or the new Parliamentary style elections for the House. Other changes were far more fundamental. Politicians and bureaucrats had looted the old America to the ground and Americans demanded accountability. So the Convention initiated numerous investigations to find and bring justice to the most guilty. Corruption had become so systemic in the final decades That America literally couldn’t afford to put all of the old ruling class in prison, but America had to warn future political generations that there were limits. That even politicians could be held accountable for their actions.
