Some people seem to treat the Constitution as a political Holy Bible or Ten Commandments. But it's not. It didn't consider every circumstance, every change that would happen for eternity. <br /><br />So, liberty - I'm all for it.

In order to secure the support of the southern states for the declaration of independence, however, they had to compromise.

And yes, it's nice to say that America defeated slavery. You can also say that the founding fathers supported slavery and it was only eliminated through the efforts of radicals.<br /><br />"Opposing you" is really a belief in my freedom to view the world my way and to try to shape it according to my beliefs.<br /><br />Reality check - Unless you're saying that your rights are superior to mine, we have to compromise.
