If I Was An Antifederalist

It is a time for celebration.  After more than a century of British oppression and a war, we as a society have finally been liberated.  There were tariffs placed upon us before that have been lifted, allowing those of us who were impoverished and struggling to build up our monetary resources or expand our businesses as craftsmen or artisans.  There was a war that separated families for an extended time that is now over, allowing heartfelt reunions of kin who knew the struggles of this developing nation in a pronounced way.  We all know the havoc an organized government can wreak, the oppression associated with having beliefs not in line with those of our rulers.  We finally established some form of internal stability after all these struggles and these people called "The Framers" come along with this new document called "The Constitution" to throw us into turmoil again.  This document will surely ruin our newfound semblance of stability as a nation.  We just stepped out of the King's bed and they want us to jump into Benjamin Franklin's bed without reservations.

This document gives all these powers to specified branches of government.  There are articles written with multiple sections for each of these branches of government that are supposed to govern us, the people.  At least, in the Declaration of Independence, the governed are mentioned as having the right of consent.  Where is the section on the powers of the governed in this document called "The Constitution"? If it is supposed to be a document for the good of the people, the governed should have an article in it too.

As individuals and craftsmen, we know how important it is to honor specialization.  It is important to promote the respectful uses of the resources employed in our craft.  We work arduously honing our skills and provide our region great services.  We acknowledge farmers who utilize waterways to interact with other regions of the nation.  These small regions or republics should have the ability to provide input on the governing of this country.  Who knows better the needs of a baby bird than the birds of the same nest? These nests should be revered as the art of nature.  Yet, states, like nests, have less powers given to them in the grand scheme of this proposed government in "The Constitution".  That is against the logic of nature.

These small nests are best governed separately because each bird is different and has its own character, values, and aims.  How is this not obvious? There is a nobility associated with birds as they live in that they find the resources to build their nests along and find only the food necessary to keep their baby birds fed.  This is efficient.  If small nests are easier to manage in nature, why is this not evident to "The Framers" and why were not the states given more power?

Despite the obvious fact that this document goes against nature, which should be enough on its own to not want it ratified, it is also an illegal document.  This is against our current national document, the Articles of Confederation.  What is to say those criminal "Framers" will not uproot this supposedly preferential document over and over again.  If there is no respect for the law of the land, then what should we respect? Why follow those who have already insulted a national law? It does not make sense to follow the word of criminals.
