A common response, when people read the Constitution, is "If the Constitution says this, then how can they get away with all these things that they're not supposed to be doing?"
Answer: Because most folks have never read the Constitution, and have no idea what it says -- that is how they get away with it.
And don't feel bad about being uncertain about anarchy and tyranny. I had a feeling for it, but looked it up to see exactly what the answer was, when you asked. I don't like to offer off-the-cuff answers to serious questions, except in a field where I am knowledgeable and certain of the answer.
Great answer. I think my confusion was in assuming the spectrum of right/left as a definition of anarchy vs tyranny.
“Note that anarchy is by definition neither right nor left”
I was thinking of the spectrum between no rules and rules without representation by the people. The former, anarchy and the latter, tyranny.
Thank God for The Constitution, The Bill of Rights, and The Declaration of Independence ❤️🇺🇸
Now if we can only get people to read them.

I definitely know that about you, WildBill!
I appreciate any correction you notice I need!! We are all educating ourselves these days.
I think learning the Constitution etc in the context of the enlightened men who gave it to us adds a dimension of profound gratitude.
Which is why I am reading Skousen’s The Five Thousand Year Leap. Thanks again, Bill ❤️🙏🕊🦅🌎
