The Failed Constitution

Le Monde Paris:

Several years after the attempt to free a population from tyranny, the formation of the central government continues to founder. A large portion of the population continues to support the former regime, while there is danger of fracturing the loose alliance of the various states. The founding document for the central government fails to provide any real power, and the "representatives" were selected by an uninformed population, many of whom are illiterate.

Additionally, minority and women's rights are not protected by the founding government.

The central government, designed as a confederation of states by its founding document, has little power. A small group of radicals are currently proposing ditching the confederation altogether, in direct contravention of the terms of the document. This purported coup would strip the several states of any real power, and centralize most power to a small group elected by only the males of the society, and only males from a single ethnic background.

This new Constitution is likely to prevent voting from women or minorities, as well as impose a system of perpetual servitude for certain minority groups. Some minority groups are likely to be "ethnically cleansed" from the country completely, or placed on reservations.

Observers are at a loss at how to stop this coup, and according to the French Ambassador, we are likely to see Civil War in the future.

The radical representatives are currently meeting in Philadelphia, and may by a simple vote end the Articles of Confederation in favor of this new Constitution.

January, 1787.
