    The constitution did that…

    Also, congress can legislate as they please as long as it doesn’t violate the constitution.

    Congress chooses not to do that for most things peasants care or need done.

      Marbury vs. Madison did it. Judicial review isn’t explicitly in the Constitution.

          These days, hard to say how you get yourself to a blank slate. The wealthy in this country are richer than any of the nobility our forefathers ever had to contend with.
