They wouldn’t have done that if they thought it should frequently change.
They definitely didn’t intend for it to be frequent, I agree. But they intended it to be able to always change.
I don’t think the founders would have abandoned the Articles if they could have foreseen the behemoth they created in its place
The alternative was British control. I very much doubt they would have kept the Articles if they knew.
Corporations do not seek power. They seek sales.
And power equals sales, so by seeking sales they also seek power.
the rest of the states are supposed to send their militias south to help defend the border.
Under the articles, it was like pulling teeth simply for the money to pay back the nation’s loans. Getting actual troops is a whole other level.
A more extreme solution would be to erect border checkpoints to conduct “random” searches.
And that would be a huge disservice to the country. Our nation thrives on the ability to quickly and easily cross state borders because they basically don’t exist. I can only imagine the damage to our economy if such a thing were to happen.
But reality is like that.
I’m not sure that data is really helpful for determining true business size since so many people have more than one job, and corporations like to own other corporations to hide how big they are. And employee count is only one factor in how big a business is. Market share, net worth, profit, all of which contribute to a business’ size. It also doesn’t take into account the power/influence a company has, or it’s market share. A restaurant/grocery store might only employee about 50 people in total but have a fraction of the market share for the local area or no market share at all on a regional/national level. And on the other hand a landlord might own a company with 10-20 people, and owns a huge chunk of the city’s housing.
And because of supply and demand the reality is that the power is not in the hands of labor (for now), and the internet does exist.
