Socrates’ Reply
QUESTION: Whenever you say that Socrates says that this election will be the final election, does it say why? Is it as a result of elections will probably be canceled and the nation will probably be below authoritarian rule? Or possibly as a result of the nation will probably be divided by then, and there’ll not be a united Federal authorities over the entire nation? Or one more reason?

George Washington’s Inauguration 1789
ANSWER: Socrates has correlated all the things, and it doesn’t look good. Article II, Part 1 of the Structure ruled the unique technique of electing the president and the vice chairman (elections of 1789, 1792, 1796, and 1800). The president could be the person with the best variety of votes, and the vice chairman could be the subsequent with the best variety of votes. This offered an issue, for his or her political philosophies might be antagonistic. It was not till the election of 1804 that was the first one through which the electors voted for president and vice chairman on separate ballots. (See Modification XII to the Structure.)
The 2020 election was the first outright coup carried out in Congress. That was cyclically on level, for it was the third Revolutionary Cycle, 72 years from the primary presidential election below the twelfth Modification of 1804. Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826) defeated the Federalist Charles Pinckney (1746–1825) in 1804 and ran once more in 1808 towards James Madison (1751-1836). The hatred again then between the Federalists and the Bemocratic-Republican Celebration of Thomas Jefferson was profound.
John Adams, a staunch Federalist, and Thomas Jefferson each died on July 4th, 1926. John Adams’s final phrases have been, “Thomas Jefferson nonetheless survives.” Little did he notice that he outlived his former bitter rival by just a few hours. One can think about nearly any of those Democrats from Biden, Obama, or Hillary Clinton, who would say the identical in the event that they died about Trump. The animosity between the Federalists, who wished dictatorial energy over the states, and Jefferson, who championed States’ Rights, continues to be a battle raging in the present day, as in ABORTION.
The following election of 1812 noticed James Madison (1751-1836) defeat the Federalist DeWitt Clinton (1769– 1828). The 1816 election noticed James Monroe (1758–1831) of Jefferons’s Celebration win 72.9% towards Rudus King (1755–1827), the Federalist, who captured solely 13.2%. That was the top of the Federalist Celebration. The following election was in 1832, with Andrew Jackson (1767–1845) and Henry Clay (1777–1852) being hotly contested.
We should perceive the Democrats are primarily the Federalists in the present day searching for dictatorial energy to impose their insurance policies by power upon the entire. If we glance objectively on the whole variety of seats held in each the Senate and Home, the Democrats are in a bear market. They’ve made decrease highs and decrease lows since their peak in the course of the Nice Melancholy. The pc exhibits the demise of the Democratic Celebration for the exact same causes that the Federalists collapsed. I’ve warned that centralized governments have ALWAYS failed all through historical past as a result of this concept of one-size-fits-all politically doesn’t work. Politics has degenerated into it’s now our flip to oppress the opposition. NO CIVILIZATION will ever final when the bulk exploits the minority.
