    it’s what they could agree on at the time. The Great Seal was the master plan to last thousands of years. The Constitutions was made to be rewritten, revised, a rolling release that goes along with The Enlightenment (science). It’s a lot of hard work to keep it current and on-course in basic prose true to the era, and that work has largely been forgotten and abandoned.

    The Great Seal is written in art symbolism, way beyond the Constitution and laws.

        People like short sound bites. People don’t resist advertising. Why wasn’t every preacher in the USA sharing verse Matthew 6:5 when Trump was holding his Bible up for a photo opportunity?

        Reacting to media is not understanding media. They do not demonstrate reading comprehension at all. They should be grossly offended, not chanting like blind sheep.

        People all around me in the USA are praising fascism ideas and don’t have any self-awareness that they are blindly following media signals. They can’t even catch up to 1940’s symbolism problems, their education has not prepared them for this media-filled electronic world.

          I would hazard that this is the point of USA. The Constitution didn’t provide voting rights to non-land owners originally. That’s pretty telling about what the Great Seal is supposed to mean to me.
