Summary/Abstract: The United States was not founded by academic theorists who sat around debating Kantian requirements of the state, nor did they devise technical ways to measure N- 1 and 1/N problems and citizen satisfaction with their government. They were courageous leaders who knew unhappy colonists were dumping tea into Boston harbor and refusing to pay taxes to a government they loathed. These leaders knew their government needed to change drastically. It needed to be reinvented, and these leaders were the original reinventors.
