Another way that the Convention of States changed the nature of America is in the way they handled political prisoners. They passed a blanket amnesty to every single political prisoner of the old regime. Then they ordered the political prisons torn down since they were too inhumane for anyone but political prisoners. Criminals had rights like due process, livable conditions, medical care, and access to lawyers after all. And when their investigators prosecuted the ruling class politicians and bureaucrats, most served time in various Club Feds. Only the worst served hard time in high security prisons, and many of those were to protect them after all of their convictions hit the public record. Criminals have standards you know.
