You time travel and arrive at the constitution convention day 1.
You have 24 hour to convince the founding fathers to change their plans for the constitution.
Then you get 60 minutes on the floor to make your case.

What do you do?
What do you change.

I for one start blackmailing like a champ.

Washington, Sally Fairfax
Gouverneur Morris, all the ladies
Hamilton , Angelica Church
Jefferson supporters...

Immediately end slavery and ban it completely in every territory.

Make plans to secure Mexico, Canada and Cuba

Once military is large enough secure overseas colonies in the Middle East for oil.

Import as many Europeans as possible.

Let's get Greenland as a penal colony too

Stupid hypo. Alexander Hamilton would never stop talking long enough to allow anyone else a chance to speak for an hour.

That is absolutely the first and most important thing.

Then a requirement to balance the budget by 1800.

Term limits.

Due process only applies to people of legal status.

There's no way in the world the Founding Fathers would’ve ever believe how completely f*cking insane the Democrat party has become. If you explained to them what they were doing today, you would’ve been laughed out of Philadelphia and likely institutionalized. I can’t even begin to imagine their disbelief upon hearing about the insane ramblings and "Constitutional analysis" of SloF*ckingPinhead.

Absolute priority is to abolish slavery…

Get hold of Eli Whitney and get him to come up with a horse drawn mechanical cotton picker…

That was Honest Abe’s plan, but a Democrat shot him before he could execute it.

This book is really good



quote:

Billionaire and retired Senator “Colonel” Alan Powers has hired the world’s best scientist, Dr. Carver Benton, to create a transporter. However, Benton’s unknown, noble intention was far greater. His is to bring a few of our nation’s forefathers to the year 2025 so they can see first-hand how their American experiment has turned out. Five of the Constitutional signers, Hamilton, Madison, Morris, Dickinson, and Sherman are amazed at the technological advancements and cultural changes 238 years later! However, they are appalled at the onset of perpetual governmental welfare, trillions in national debt, a lack of respect for citizenship, and dismayed with the socialist values living within the White House. In their views, the republic they penned into existence has eroded. Returning to their own time in 1787, and taking their new experiences with them, they are faced with a decision to answer Benton’s charge, ‘Clarify and improve the U.S. Constitution’.If they succeed, what will America look like in the year 2025? What if they fail?

You've given this a lot of thought, Patriot

Well before this question was ever posed. You may be the first time traveler

If in the after-life, I'm fortunate enough to meet my Southern ancestors, I'm going to give them all a quick kick in the arse for all this bs they've brought upon us. It was not worth it one bit.

Hence why I would resort to blackmailing the greatest Americans.

Secure the whole Caribbean, and go as far south as Columbia and Venezuela. No need for the Middle East’s oil, plus it stamps out future cartels, and locks up the future Panama Canal.

Also decentralize banking, make it permanent.
