I’m hopeful that we are on a path to electing representatives that truly understand the constitution and the brilliance of our founding fathers. The best way to make sure that happens is to educate ourselves on the principles our founding fathers used to set this country on a path to greatness. The first principle states that The Only Reliable Basis for Sound Government and Just Human Relations is Natural Law. The following is an excerpt from the must read book The 5,000-Year Leap
The Law of Nature or Nature’s God is eternal in its basic goodness; it is universal in its application. It is a code of “right reason” from the Creator himself. It cannot be altered. It cannot be repealed. It cannot be abandoned by legislators or the people themselves, even though they may pretend to do so. In Natural Law we are dealing with factors of absolute reality. It is basic in its principles, comprehensible to the human mind, and totally correct and morally right in its general operation.
The founders wanted to build a country of individual freedom. They did not want a tyrannical government. That’s why they based their system on Natural Law. It’s extremely important that we understand that and remind our politicians where we get our freedom from.
A country that believes that their rights come from their government must realize that the government can then just as easily take them away. We are not that country.
That’s why the words of Thomas Jefferson in the Declaration of Independence are held so dear to Americans. “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.”
