Compose a 1000 words assignment on american revolution plutocracy or democracy. Needs to be plagiarism free! By thoroughly addressing and discussing each of these issues, we will not only be able to gain a better understanding on Fresia's thesis and purpose for writing the book but as well on all of the issues that are discussed within the book. This is what will be dissertated in the following.

In the beginning section of the book Fresia explains his thesis, of which a large part is spent discussing whether those who have much wealth and a higher power would really be properly capable of writing the constitution:

Common sense tells us that people who spend a good deal of time either acquiring or protecting a vast personal empire or defending a king's soldiers against the dispossessed would also have believed that the possession of enormous privilege was just and that protection of that privilege ought to be sold and maintained at considerable cost. Common sense should further compel us to wonder whether such people could write Constitution that would effectively transfer power from their few hands into the hands of the many, that is, into the hands of the poor, the debtors and people without property. (4).

We see then, that one of the most major points that Fresia is attempting to portray in his thesis

is the issue of whether or not people who consider themselves to be the only ones worthy of such power could possibly be considered as being fit to write a Constitution which is supposed to include everyone equally.

The evidence that Fresia uses to support his thesis is then shown to us throughout the majority of the rest of the book, as he explains quite thoroughly about the actual Constitution itself, and as well he discusses the obstacles that are present, such as the "three obstacles to effective radical politics" (5), which he considers as being "1) Respect for the Constitution as a fair and equitable and democratic document. 2) the underlying belief that the U.S. government is fair, acts justly, or would under ordinary circumstances. and 3) a reluctance on the part of most citizens whose values are at odds with those expressed by corporate and state policy to engage in confrontation" (7).

Fresia's thesis truly divulges into an array of different issues and topics, and we can quite clearly see that his ideal is that the Constitution was not written fairly at all, and he uses various different examples in order to illustrate his point. For instance, we see one of his most memorable quotes in the entire book:

The kind of system which the Framers generally had in mind was a particular kind of representative system or republic. it was one in which elites or 'better people' decide what is best for 'common people'. This kind of system, in fact, the kind we now live under, is often referred to as classical liberalism. It is the aristocratic or paternalistic representative system associated with John Locke.
