Suppose you are a delegate to a convention to ratify the Constitution: How do you vote? Yea or Nea

I have to say that I would bitterly oppose the new Constitution and instead advocate for an amended Articles of Confederation that would make the United States a free trade zone.

Wooooo, half reading what I'm answering for the loss. Clicked "yea" meant "nea".

My bad, Staunch Anti-Federalist here.

OK, we'll just remember to -1 from the Federalist tally at the end. I'm always up for taking away Hamiltonian votes.:D

I was saying the other day that adherence to the constitution isn't my goal, that I thought it granted too much power to the federal government. I was saying that I wanted us to return to the articles of confederation. The person thought I was joking.

Good to know others prefer the AoC, perhaps modified, too.
