[QUOTE="NotreDame, post: 74051158, member: 212558"] Wait. Logically, how can the students be skeptical of a development the Constitution "has not been able to safeguard" against when the Constitution was neither designed or written for such a safeguard to exist? Specifically, it makes no sense for students to base their skepticism of the Constitution on, inter alia, the fact the document "hasn't been able to safeguard us by requiring that Trump divest from his companies" when "divestment" is not "required by the constitution." How does that work? How can be skeptical of the Constitution for the lack of a safeguard when the Constitution was never conceived or written for such a safeguard to exist? Student: "I am skeptical of the Constitution because a safeguard that it was never conceived or written to produce has not materialized under the Constitution." Teacher, in summoning their best Chris Tucker impersonation from Rush Hour, "What in the he** did you just say?" As for the "other reasons." The manner in which the author presented the material demonstrates the students' skepticism should be directed towards the Federalist Papers' missed predictions about the Constitution. The students quarrel is with the predictions that did not adequately materialize in the Federalist Papers. [/QUOTE]
