Well that was its purpose. To make sure people could always oppose the government. Still, it seems a little feeble now a day with the level of technology ad absurdom that the military has. Gunships, ICBMs, fucking solid state laser weapons. The founding fathers didn't have much fore sight. Well doesn't matter. I can't imagine how difficult it would be to get that many people together without getting noticed in these days of the us having like 14 intelligence agencies. The days of ideas like that seems pretty over. It could be possible, but people don't have the heart for that kind of thing anymore. Which is sad seeing as peaceful protest is quickly diminishing in effect.
