The 'document' being the US Constitution does not claim sovereignty over individuals, it imposes limits on the Federal government. This guy really has a grudge against everything.
Interestingly Thomas Jefferson actually discussed the moral ability to write an enduring Constitution and (at one point) he actually advocated that it have a definite end date which he proposed to be 19 years based on the life tables at the time. The full letter is HERE Starts with:
That would certainly work better than the current situation where laws stay on the books essentially forever and gradually build up over time to become more and more oppressive. A reset every 19 years is something I think I could live with. How much damage can anyone do in 19 years?
I was impressed when I read it. It is quite an obvious "solution" albeit one that would require some core cultural acceptance of the concept.
Perhaps cancel all laws that have written over the constitution every 10 years would be better. Ie the dollar is a unit of weight of silver.
In terms of building up laws I meant. The only way they can do it in the current system is by a slow build up over many decades and if everything just got reset after a couple of decades that puts a spanner in the works of the whole thing. They can't boil the frog too fast. And also old bad laws get trashed instead of hanging around forever. It would be a good way of trashing bad traditions. Creative destruction in a way. Not that I'm particularly enamoured with the idea but it would better than what we have now where the law is so opaque, built up over so many decades, no-one knows it.
