Also, I'm pretty sure they didn't expect for the Constitution to remain as-is for eternity either. As for slavery, some did wanted to address the issue right there. They chose not to, putting the preservation of the Union above all else, but it was still something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acacia Sgt Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 (edited) One thing that is clear is that they didn't account for much on how the world and society would evolve. Specially when it came to when to change or not the system to adapt. Like the 2nd Amendment. It was created when a lot of weaponry didn't exist yet. Also, when states were expected to have their own militias from drafted civilians, and not the country as a whole to have an actual standing army. Hence the right for civilians to carry arms, so they could fulfill their duties if they were to incorporate into their state militia, since it was not the government the one providing the weapons. In time the idea of state militias petered out enough, but by that point it was already entrenched the ideas of an armed populace, so the 2nd Amendment began to be reinterpreted as to why they had to have the guns to begin with. After all, how often do you see supporters of the 2nd Amendment actually bring up the "Well Regulated Militia" part? Or at least, as still being relevant today. Hence why it's one of the most reinterpreted ones to suit their agenda. The slavery one was certainly more naïve/self-serving. Hindsight is 20/20 after all. Slavery was dying out in the North, and it would too in the South if not for stuff like the Cotton Gin being invented by someone who hoped it would help kill off slavery. Instead, the slaveholders found out how it could help slavery expand instead. And that is the kind of attitude that it was unaccounted for back when the whole thing was set-up.

I mean, I didn't really make a game, I just changed a few things around in Sacred Stones. Still, pleased to know it piqued your interest. As for patching, it is simple enligh. You need a ROM of USA FE8, can't help you there, the patch, and a program called NUPS. Get NUPS here. It is a simple process, just run NUPS, select the ROM on "file to patch" and the patch in "UPS patch" and hit patch. Then you just boot it up on your emulator and go! Ask away if you run into any trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Rubenio Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 So after I picked up my friend, we caught a few hours of sleep, then I showed her around the city, we visited a museum, had Turkish food (most important part) then went back home and watched my second movie of the year. She fell asleep halfway through. Still asleep. I don't have the heart to wake her, so I'm just on my computer until she regains consciousness lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd have the Founding Fathers rolling in their graves to see the current state of the system... Speaking of, the Supreme Court also operated on an honor system. Unless it was things objectively incorrect, generations of Supreme Court Justices had an unspoken rule against overturning previously established precedents. Even the conservatives back then held to this. All that got thrown out the window with the current generation of Justices, who are just there to do Republicans' bidding. Thomas in particular has expressed interest in overturning the case that legalized interracial marriage, like he isn't married to a white woman. 3 hours ago, Acacia Sgt said: As for slavery, some did wanted to address the issue right there. They chose not to, putting the preservation of the Union above all else, but it was still something. Yep. Everything that shaped how the US turned out was because "well we need the slave states to stay in line". Every time a new State was added, there had to be a second one also added to keep the balance of free vs slave states. When the Confederacy formed, Virginia itself split apart, creating the free state of West Virginia (which ironically leans more right now I think). 1 hour ago, Saint Rubenio said: Cajones means drawers.

Well what da ya know... I think what happened is that the US hasn't been humbled enough. The countries of Europe and Asia have changed their constitutions multiple times, I assume, given their long history. America is....well basically every war we fought, we won. Most were not on our soil. The wars we did lose were less that we actually lost and moreso people were just tired of it. If not for public pressure, I think Vietnam would've gone on for longer. And, the big one, we carry the global economy. Everyone wants to be like the Dollar. 90% of the entertainment industry is American exports. We have the world's most famous theme parks. With America carrying the global economy, well clearly our perfect constitution is what allowed it, right? Clearly it's proof of "American Exceptionalism". Clearly it's proof that capitalism is the best. We're the world's richest country, we don't need to change. If the US actually got it's ass kicked in WW1, even if we still won, I wonder if things would be different. I'd imagine so, there wouldn't be the 20s Boom (which also likely means there wouldn't be a Great Depression). The US needs to be humbled, problem is, if it gets humbled too much, we take the world into Great Depression 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sooks Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 (edited) I don’t have anything to say to the history facts that we’re replies to me other than cool story, thanks bro, but unironically. 24 minutes ago, Armagon said: When the Confederacy formed, Virginia itself split apart, creating the free state of West Virginia (which ironically leans more right now I think). Can confirm, West Virginia is waaay more conservative than us (in general anyway, Virginia does have “Trump Town” but honestly it’s probably not the only one).

Everything that shaped how the US turned out was because "well we need the slave states to stay in line". Every time a new State was added, there had to be a second one also added to keep the balance of free vs slave states. When the Confederacy formed, Virginia itself split apart, creating the free state of West Virginia (which ironically leans more right now I think). West Virginia was a special case. Besides, thanks to the Kansas-Nebraska act, the idea of keeping balance was no longer done in the same way stablished by the Missouri Compromise. In that one, it was indeed done for sake of balance, allowing Missouri to be Slave State since Maine was going to be a Free State. It was now left to the people of the would-be state to decide... which prompted people from both sides to flood the territories in order to be the ones to decide. Hence the Bloody Kansas event that led to Kansas joining the Union as a Free State, just before the ACW began.
