“Americans for themselves: that is Jeffersonianism!
Americans for the Union: that is Hamiltonianism!”

Alexander Hamilton was right about the Bill of Rights all along in Federalist Paper No. 84: Is it really necessary to make any constitution so long and unreadable by Amendments to the point where nobody knows how to interpret their constitution, let alone know what their constitution is supposed to be as a legal document?

As I write this, I am currently rereading and proofreading the legal language in Part IV of Strategic Accounting and Allocation of the Federal Budget and the portion about the Greater America Amendment as discussed earlier today. The total word count of Part IV has nearly reached 15,000 words because of the 27 Amendments. For comparison purposes, there have been nearly 12,000 failed attempts to introduce Amendment XXVIII. Why are the Jeffersonians trying to make the US Constitution just as long as the 1977 Soviet Constitution, if not longer than that?    

Over the course of the final Compendium entry, there have been repeated mentions of a Greater America Amendment and postulations on whether the 27 Amendments and the US Constitution ought to be perceived as two separate constitutional documents. That is because I now have reasons to suspect that if the US Currency were to be pegged to the Work-Standard, potential constitutional loophole involving all 27 Amendments will arise and they must be address sooner rather than later.

The whole Intent behind the Greater America Amendment is to allow the US Currency to be pegged to the Work-Standard and address any known constitutional loopholes and ambiguities from the other 27 Amendments under the Constitution. Who in America would oppose the passing of the Greater America Amendment besides the obvious Democratic-Republican Party?

On the so-called “American Left,” I know that the Communist Party, USA (CPUSA) will oppose the Greater America Amendment no matter what because its party line insists that the Bill of Rights, not the US Constitution, defines the authenticity of American Socialism. It is an obscure historical fact from the “Cold War” (Read: World War II) that the CPUSA’s true ideology is Jeffersonianism rather than Marxism-Leninism. So Jeffersonian to a fault, that the CPUSA has always failed throughout its entire history to consolidate the various Communist factions and grouplets scattered throughout the Union. This is because the CPUSA had consistently supported the Jeffersonian presidency of Franklin Delano Roosevelt and his New Deal programs, which only caused harm to the Union in the form of the US National Debt. The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) and Jacobin have merely inherited the Jeffersonian outlook of the CPUSA.

Meanwhile, the “American Right” is too small and too disorganized to be worthy of mention here. What I can argue is that the Federalist Society and The Federalist have inherited the Weltanschauung of James Madison. Blame Liberal Capitalists like Friedrich von Hayek and Milton Friedman for insisting that Gold and Debt are the only conceptions of Currency there will ever be, thereby justifying the existence of these Derivatives and Cryptocurrencies that grew up in time for the Great Recession. Oh, and do not get me started with Ayn Rand and Murray Rothbard: those two had taught me more about Boris Yeltsin, Vladimir Putin, and Post-Soviet Russia than anything concerning this Federalist American Union. It is because of Jeffersonianism and James Madison that American Socialism remains a taboo subject on the “American Right” to the point where the American Right has become so weak and so disillusioned that they have almost nothing better to offer except for some senseless acts of racialism, antisemitism, and secessionism.

We can figure out why the American Left and the American Right both exist as they are by addressing the 27 Amendments and how they are going to interact with the Work-Standard (vis-à-vis the Greater America Amendment). To begin, 10 of the Amendments constitute the Bill of Rights from 1791; 1 Amendment was passed twice in 1795 and 1798; 1 was passed in 1804; 3 were passed in the wake of the Civil War in 1865, 1868, and 1870; 2 Amendments were passed in 1913; 1 Amendment was passed in 1919; 1 Amendment was passed in 1920; 2 Amendments were passed in 1933, one of which was to repeal the Amendment from 1919; 1 Amendment was passed in 1951; 1 Amendment was passed in 1961; 1 Amendment was passed in 1964; 1 Amendment was passed in 1967; 1 Amendment was passed in 1971; and the last Amendment in 1992, two years after the legal end of World War II.

“The Spirit, the Sense, the Lessons of 1971-1973!”

Our discussions pertaining to the Eternal Return to the American Essence defined by Hamiltonianism and the Federalist Party is coming to its conclusion. This SMP Compendium is hereby completed once it has been submitted to The Fourth Estate. Every Compendium written will eventually be compiled into a .PDF file as part of the First Edition. Future Editions remain pending. For now, let us end our discussion by recalling once again the Socialistic Heroic Realism from those two speeches by Richard Nixon in the SMP Compendium.

The first one is from July 1971, “Remarks to Midwestern News Media Executives Attending a Briefing on Domestic Policy in Kansas City, Missouri”:

“I am convinced, however, that we have the vitality, I believe we have the courage, I believe we have the strength out through this heartland and across this Nation that will see to it that America not only is rich and strong, but that it is healthy in terms of moral strength and spiritual strength. I am convinced it is there. I am convinced as I talk to crowds of people. I am convinced as I see a group of young people, 500 of them, going off to Europe, as I saw them yesterday, from 50 States.

But I also know that people need to be reassured. The people that can reassure them are opinion leaders, editors, television, radio commentators, teachers, even perhaps Presidents and politicians. At the present time, I will simply say in raising these problems, I don’t raise them in any sense of defeatism; I don’t raise them in the usual sense of pointing out that the United States is a country torn by division, alienation, that this is truly an ugly country, because I don’t believe that.

I honestly believe that the United States, in its preeminent position of world leadership, has in its hands the future of peace in the world this last third of the century. I honestly believe that the United States has the destiny to play a great role, but I also know we cannot play it unless this is a healthy land, with a healthy government, a healthy citizenry, a healthy economy, and above all, the moral and spiritual health that can only come from the hearts of people and their minds, and that will only come as people are reassured from time to time, as we discuss our faults and as we correct our faults, reassured.

Keep them in balance. Don’t let the problem of the moment obscure the great things that are going on in this country and the goodness of this country. It is that that I would suggest to the editors and the other opinion makers here: that from time to time, maybe once a month, that message might come through.”

The other is from August 1971,“Address to the Nation Outlining a New Economic Policy: ‘The Challenge of Peace’”:

“America today has the best opportunity in this century to achieve two of its greatest ideals: to bring about a full generation of peace, and to create a new prosperity without war.

This not only requires bold leadership ready to take bold action–it calls forth the greatness in a great people.

Prosperity without war requires action on three fronts: We must create more and better jobs; we must stop the rise in the cost of living; we must protect the dollar from the attacks of international money speculators.

The time has come for a new economic policy for the United States. Its targets are unemployment, [Attrition], and [the dangers of Financial Warfare.]

We are going to take that action–not timidly, not half-heartedly, and not in piecemeal fashion. We are going to move forward to the new prosperity without war as befits a great people–all together, and along a broad front.”

“In the past 7 years, there has been an average of one international monetary crisis every year. Now who gains from these crises? Not the workingman; not the investor; not the real producers of wealth. The gainers are [Liberal Capitalists]. Because they thrive on crises, they help to create them.

In recent weeks, the [Liberal Capitalists] have been waging an all-out war on the American Dollar. The strength of a nation’s currency is based on the [Arbeit] of that nation’s economy–and the American economy is by far the strongest in the world. Accordingly, I have directed the Secretary of the Treasury to take the action necessary to defend the dollar against the [Liberal Capitalists].

I have directed Secretary Connally to suspend temporarily the convertibility of the Dollar into Gold or other reserve assets, except in amounts and conditions determined to be in the interest of monetary stability and in the best interests of the United States.

As a result of these actions, the [Total Productive Potential] of American [Totality] will be more competitive, and the unfair edge that some of our foreign competition has will be removed. This is a major reason why [the Balance of Power in Trades and Payments have] eroded over [since 1956].”

“We are fortunate to live in a nation with an economic system capable of producing for its people the highest standard of living in the world; a system flexible enough to change its ways dramatically when circumstances call for change; and, most important, a system resourceful enough to produce prosperity with freedom and opportunity unmatched in the history of nations.

The purposes of the [Federal government’s] actions I have announced tonight are to lay the basis for renewed confidence, to make it possible for us to compete fairly with the rest of the world, to open the door to new prosperity.

But government, with all of its powers, does not hold the key to the success of a people. That key, my fellow Americans, is in your hands.

A nation, like a person, has to have a certain inner drive in order to succeed. In economic affairs, that inner drive is called the competitive spirit.

Every action I have taken tonight is designed to nurture and stimulate that competitive spirit, to help us snap out of the self-doubt, the self-disparagement that saps our [Quality of Arbeit] and erodes our confidence in ourselves.”

“Whether this Nation stays number one in the world’s economy or resigns itself to second, third, or fourth place; whether we as a people have faith in ourselves, or lose that faith; whether we hold fast to the strength that makes peace and freedom possible in this world, or lose our grip–all that depends on you, on your competitive spirit, your sense of personal destiny, your pride in your country and in yourself.

We can be certain of this: As the threat of war recedes, the challenge of peaceful competition in the world will greatly increase.

We welcome competition, because America is at her greatest when she is called on to compete.

As there always have been in our history, there will be voices urging us to shrink from that challenge of competition, to build a protective wall around ourselves, to crawl into a shell as the rest of the world moves ahead.”

“As we move into a generation of peace, as we blaze the trail toward the new prosperity, I say to every American: Let us raise our spirits. Let us raise our sights. Let all of us contribute all we can to this great and good country that has contributed so much to the progress of mankind.

Let us invest in our Nation’s future, and let us revitalize that faith in ourselves that built a great nation in the past and that will shape the world of the future.

Thank you and good evening.”
