Thomas Payne once wrote about this during assembly to wright the Preamble to the Constitution in his papers as " An assembly of Demigods" to insight the British. This is where that comes from. It was meant as a slight about the Brits. It was showing how bad the Tyranny was getting at the time. Read the source and decide for yourself. It suggested the British acted like Demigods but could fall like anyone. Just poking fun at them was a good propaganda ploy.
