Why doesn't the American public demand to back the dollar with Gold and Silver, as the Constitution mandates?

Question

For about 130 years inflation in the U.S. was mostly held in check under the Gold standard.

The impending depreciation of the U.S. dollar, I see as the biggest threat to end "Liberty & Justice" for all, in the USA.

Answer 1

The Constitution doesn't mandate it and there isn't enough gold and silver in the world to back up the US dollar.

Answer 2

If you think we're still living under the constitution, you're being duped like all the other "sheeple" in this country.

For instance, the 10th ammendment says that the federal government has no authority over us that's not specifically granted in the constitution itself.
99% of what the federal government does violates this.
I'm for a return to the sanity of how our founding fathers thought we should be governed.
That's why I'm a libertarian.

Answer 3

The US dollar would crash if they go back to Gold standard. Any way the dollar is on a downtrend against most currencies. You better buy Gold with your dollars after the crude oil price stabilizes.

Answer 4

Evidently there was a loophole to allow America to get off the Gold standard... and of course, our leaders know how to exploit those.

Answer 5
