[Vision2020] Not in Nick Gier's Mind, Not Ever (update #5)

[Melynda Huskey]

Doug writes:

"When an entity wishes to come in to being (as far as the 
state is concerned) it needs two documents, one is it’s Articles of 
Incorporation and the next is it’s By-laws. The Articles of Incorporation 
says why the entity wants to be, and the By-laws enumerates how the entity 
plans to carry out the why, or Articles of Incorporation.

"The United States of America was no exception to this procedure. It told 
King George why it wanted freedom, the Declaration of Independence and 
then 13 years later it passed the Constitution, the ‘how to be free’ 
document. "

In March of 1781, the Articles of Confederation were passed, and remained in effect until 1789, when the Constitution was ratified.  Any help on what common business document the Articles might represent?  (Maybe that dogeared notebook where you're supposed to record what you took out of the petty cash?)

And what a swell idea for a party:  take your guests to Staples and ask them to identify a historical document analogous to each of the do-it-yourself legal forms available for purchase.  I'll get you started, Doug:

Rental agreement:  Treaty of Paris (1898)

Go on--it's fun!

P.S.  This does raise a question, though:  if reformation is good and revolution is bad, then why not execrate the Declaration as an incendiary, revolutionary, flying-in-the-face of Providence and the duly constituted authorities ordained by God?  

Just wondering.











Mr. Gier of course you won’t find vary many statements about God 
in the Constitution it’s the nuts and bolts document. The people of the 
new United States already practiced their faith in public, they wrote the 
Declaration. They mentioned God, in one form or another 7 times in the 
Declaration and 1 time in the Constitution. Nick so you won’t have to 
search too hard, (I know the lamp of your eye is going out) it’s at the 
bottom of the document. 

Please next time, would you mind getting something correct. Lemeno Doug!
