Historical Schisms

Something that came to mind while I was watching a video. The video mentioned how there were opponents to the development of the CIA at the time, and secret government systems in general. I found this very interesting because I always assumed opposition to that sort of thing developed after the fact as a reaction the wrongdoing This is like the third time I’ve run into this phenomena:

1. This
2. Rough drafts and excluded sections of the US constitution and bill of Rights. It was really illuminating for me to hear about early drafts of the 2nd ammendment and stuff
3. Decisions about how the bible was written, and what sections would go in and out. I never really thought of the Bible as a literary work that went through rounds of revision and editing
