The Constitution is a simple document, written in English and not too long. You can (and should) carry it in your pocket. The Constitution is very clear; you don’t need a law degree or any degree to comprehend its meaning and apply it; its basic common sense. It says what it means and it means what it says.
“The Constitution is a written instrument. As such, its meaning does not alter. That which it meant when it was adopted, it means now.” (S. Carolina v. U.S., 199 U.S. 437, 448 (1905))
We the People delegated limited authority to government, as outlined in the Constitution. What is written in the Constitution are the authorized boundaries for the government. What is not written in the Constitution is prohibited to government. The government has a narrow path and today, they are way over the line. Thus, it is our duty and responsibility to lawfully call out the overreach.
First, we must know our Rights. If we do not know our Rights, we cannot properly defend them. And if we cannot properly defend our Rights, we will lose them.
Where to begin? Get yourself a copy of the Constitution. Read it. Familiarize yourself with your Rights secured in the Constitution, especially the Bill of Rights.
The Constitution recognizes our Rights but it does not give us Rights. Our Rights are endowed by God. As such, the dignity and rights of every man, woman, and child are inherent to our existence, like our breath. The American Founders had the foresight to amend the original 1787 Constitution with the Bill of Rights in 1791 so that we, the American People, may stand up and lawfully demand our God given Rights be acknowledged and upheld.
“The rights of the individual are not derived from governmental agencies, either municipal, state, or federal, or even from the Constitution. They exist inherently in every man, by endowment of the Creator, and are merely reaffirmed in the Constitution, and restricted only to the extent that they have been voluntarily surrendered by citizenship to the agencies of government. The people’s rights are not derived from the government, but the government’s authority comes from the people. The Constitution states again these rights already existing, and when legislative encroachment by the nation, state, or municipality invades these original and permanent rights, it is the duty of the courts to so declare, and afford the necessary relief.”(City of Dallas, et al. v. Mitchell, 245 s.w. 944, 945-46 (1922))
The Constitution is the Supreme Law of the Land. National Constitution Article 6, Clause 2. The Constitution is not just a beautiful document written a long time ago; the Constitution is the law. As the Supreme Law of this Land, the Constitution, supersedes any other lesser law, including federal and state statutes, codes, regulations, rules, and policies. “A “Code” or “Statute” is not a law.” (Flournov v. First Nat. Bank of Shreveport, 197La.1067, 3 So.2d 244,24). Statutes and rules are administrative, not law, and thus inferior to the Constitution.
“It will be an evil day for American Liberty if the theory of a government outside supreme law finds lodgement in our constitutional jurisprudence. No higher duty rests upon this Court than to exert its full authority to prevent all violations of the principles of the Constitution.” (Downs v. Bidwell, 182 U.S. 244 (1901),
In the name of “public safety”, the American people have unknowingly forfeit their freedom and their responsibility to hold government accountable. The Constitution secures the American People’s power, authority, responsibility, right, and duty to oversee the government from the local school board to the state police, from judges on the bench to the President. The governing factor is the oath taken by all public officials to support, uphold, and defend the Constitutions both national and state.
Government officials are bound by oath to support and defend the Constitution, National Constitution Article 6, Clause 3. Pursuant to the 9th Amendment, all American Citizens expect their public officers to abide by their oaths in the performance of their official duties as Constitutionally mandated. If a government official or agency enforces anything over the Supreme Law, the Constitution, they act in violation of the Constitution to which they sworn an oath to support and defend. As such, they war against the Constitution and perjure their oath. Any and all actions of public officials against the Constitution render them unfit to hold public office, pursuant to the self executing Sections 3 & 4 of the 14th Amendment.
“Public service is a public trust, requiring employees to place loyalty to the Constitution, the laws, and ethical principles above private gain,” (Luther v Borden, 48 U.S. 1, 12 L.Ed 581 (1841))
“The officers of the law, in the execution of process, are required to know the requirements of the law, and if they mistake them, whether thorough ignorance or design, and anyone is harmed by their error they must respond in damages.” (Roger v. Marshall (United States use of Rogers v. Conklin), 1 Wall. (US) 644, 17 Led 714)
“It is the only supreme power in our system of government and every man who, by accepting office participates in its functions is only the more strongly bound to submit to that supremacy, and to observe the limitations which it imposes on the exercise of the authority which it gives.” (U.S. v: Lee, 106 U.S. 196, 220 1 S. Ct. 240, 261, 27 L. Ed 171 (1882))
