Conned by the Constitution

Conned by the Constitution

Constitution has failed to protect our lives, liberty and property,
because "We the People" have failed to hold our elected officials accountable. A Constitution that is not enforced is a meaningless piece of  paper.

Like the foundation of a  strong building a nation must have a firm foundation, The principles spelled out in the Declaration of Independence are the foundation of American government. 

The founders believed that it was self-evident truth that  all men and women were sons and daughters of God and we were endowed with the same rights and responsibilities.

It is true that the Constitution was written by an oligarchy of rich and powerful landowners and merchants and that less than 2% of the people were even asked to  give their consent.

The Constitution should have been perfectly aligned with the principles outlined in the Declaration of Independence, but sadly it was not. The fact that the institution of slavery was authorized in the Constitution doomed our Nation from the very start.

To live in the land of the free everyone must be treated equally under the law. The seeds of the Civil War were planted when the Constitution was ratified in 1788.

In his initial  draft, Jefferson stated the right to own property was a God-given right. and that the taking of a man's property without his consent was a form of theft.

Contrary to what you may believe, the Constitution is not the Supreme  Law of the Land, it is subordinate to the Laws of Nature and Nature's God..

In order for the Constitution to have succeeded in protecting the lives, liberty and property of the people, it would have been necessary for the people to hold their elected officials accountable.

The Constitution can not protect our rights if we fail to defend  it. We need to hold our public servants accountable or we must either alter of abolish our government.

Thomas Jefferson actually said is that each generation is under no moral obligation to automatically accept the terms of any Constitution they are handed by the previous generation. He didn’t mean we have to re-write it — merely that we could if we want. He also believed one generation isn’t responsible to pay the previous generation’s debts.
