[QUOTE="MadDawg, post: 1166446, member: 11627"] Actually our Founders tried a Confederation prior to the Constitution. I guess some have forgotten that short and painful period of our early history with all the quotes from the Federalist Papers. It was called The Articles of Confederation and Perpetual Union. Final radification was 1781. It was the much quoted Federalists who wanted to reform the Articles for a stronger Central Government. (Funny how these men are freely quoted when it suits but they set in motion the strong central government tradition) The Confederation was tilted toward states over central government. Patrick Henry the original loudmouth from the south was an early champion and lead a walkout at the Constitutional Convention later. We tried the strong state thing and it quickly fell apart.
