Remember the mantra of the happy citizen; it can't happen here, it can't happen here, it can't happen here...
Citizens become subjects when they become to stupid to understand the concept of citizen.
However, as far as I know there never was a system of government like that established in the Union. Nothing before ever approached the paradigm of our system.
But it was not to last. The First Congress, filled with lying Federalists, failed to adhere to the Constitution.
Human behavior is the same now as it has been since the second person showed up on Earth. Those who chase after power still do. When the Union was formed, the courts were said to be the weakest branch. But those evil, power-hungry humans have made their way to the courts and stolen miles of authority. And the complacent, ignorant, and stupid People have bent over, grabbed their ankles, and smiled.
