So I realize that the majority of my f-list is, in fact, European, but I know at least one of you is in an American studies program at university, so I challenge you: how many levels does this sentence fail on?

"In 1763 Thomas Jefferson began the constitutional period by starting to write a new constitution which he called the declaration of independence."

The Declaration of Independence wasn't a Constitution - had nothing to do with setting up a form of government, just said that we weren't part of the British Empire anymore. You may now go to sleep. ;-)

That's actually why I didn't understand "constitutional process". ;-)

Thank you and good night!
