Not in the slightest. Come on, abolitionism in 1787? Constant fighting? Big-government Founding Fathers? This is ridiculous!

That's...not what I meant at all.

[Barry Goldwater]

I see WEF 1787 is about to explode even before a constitution is written. Again.

If you guys so desire, we can skip to 1836/1840 now, and pretend that the real Constitution was adopted. With perhaps a few modifications so it isn't too much like OTL, ex. nobility, 3/4 rule instead of the 3/5 rule, etc.

[Gone 2 the Celts]

1836. 10 years before Mex-American War, and the year VIcky 2 starts.

[Lorem Ipsum]

Indeed, not to mention Manifest Destiny.

[The Stig]

1820. Missouri Compromise. Let's argue some more!

[Agamemnon]

NO GOD NO!!!!!!

I'm with Thunder on 1836.

['Gunny]

1840 in 1810 style

[Gone 2 the Celts]

Well..... I guess it's a proven fact that IHers cannot ever write a constitution....... When the Zombie Apocalypse comes, I'll leave it to Dan, Gunny, Kip, and Barry.

[Agamemnon]

I'll definitely pop in to make sure our rights are protected and the government stays out of the economy. Actually, I think that if we were REALLY in trouble, we'd do pretty well. Just tie up Fred and Perry, and we'll have no problems.

[Barry Goldwater]

Then we shall put it to a vote

1836: 4 (Amaz, Agg, Rose, Batman)
1840: 4 (Gunny, Rose, Kip, KF3)
Continue 1787: 0

[Xion]

Either 1836 or 1840.

[Dan the Man]

Abstain.

[Gone 2 the Celts]

1787

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

We aren't big government.

Have you ever heard of the Articles of the Confederation? It was the predecessor of the US Constitution, and it failed horribly because it gave the states too much power. Nothing got done in that time except for the Northwestern Land Ordinance.

I'll vote '37.

Eh, does that mean '36 or '87?

[Agamemnon]

Yes, and it would've worked. It failed as a national government, because it wasn't meant to be one. It was, however, one of a very few periods of stability in the country.

[EmperorBatman999]

1836.

The only reason the country was stable was because we just became free.

The American Revolution is one of the few Revolutions that actually started out right.

[Gone 2 the Celts]

Eh, I wouldn't mind a 1776 IH, without constitution writing, sometime

[Agamemnon]

And kept right, at least until the '60s.

['Gunny]

Why is everyone so bent on 36 over 40 may I ask? All it does it put us farther away from some real exploration and manifest destiny

Plus I'd really like to see it RB1810 style, rather than WEF 1.0 style, as well as no constitutional changes
