The question for Me is; is the general Will of the People always good for the Country in general and the same with Legeslation.

In these cases the general will of the people effected about 51% of our population in the first example and about 12% in the second.
These are taxpaying Americans we are talking about here and I really don't think the will of the people has much to do with it. The supreme law of the land is the US Constitution and how it effects the lives of Americans is what is important.
If we are to run this place depending on the will of the people then what do we need a Constitution for?
