Well, that's not invalid in and of itself, but if it needs reworking, why not rework it instead of pretending it says something else?

I do think it holds up well, though. Logic and reason doesn't change, regardless of time or social custom, and the choices made were very deliberate and in direct response to abuses of power. I'm far more hesitant to revoke limitations on government than any other aspect of society. In our current world, abuse of power is, after all, almost a constant.
