Because this country IS made up solely of us people -- we are the country and its government.
The Constitution even gives us the right to physically evict any leader from their office if they're not doing their job, but I can't imagine getting past security at the White House. Which is kinda scary if you think about it.
The government is SUPPOSED to exist solely to get things done for the benefit of the citizenry, but now it's become a controlling and interfering entity. The founding fathers would NOT be pleased to see what the U.S. has become.

It demands attention, it shows importance, and, yes, it is like shouting. I bet that in writing to the king you were suppose to start out, I, your loyal subject and never were groups of people to address the king. Instead, the framers start out "we", a group, then "the people" leaving out loyal subjects. The king knew with these few words that times had changed in the colonies. Also, it shows that many people were included in this decision. Strenght in numbers.

Because if the letters are really big, it must be true.
