> I do not accept your divine law drivel

But that's exactly my argument! Franklin's beliefs about "populism" are based on "divine law drivel"--God's law imposes limits on democratic law. If we reject that--which is exactly what I'm trying to do here--what basis do you have for saying that the people can't make whatever laws they want?

You're the one invoking supernatural concepts--this supernatural notion of "bodily autonomy"--not me.
