A Theme for Individual Citizen's Supremacy

A Theme for Individual Citizen's Supremacy

The "Grand Principles" of our founding fathers are rooted in the dedication to supreme fundamental rights for individual citizens with limited government to interfere with the citizenry's exercise of their rights. The founders made it crystal clear that our constitution was setup with the individual citizen having supremacy over government and all other entities and that the country belonged to The People as individual persons and not as a collective society. The founders established a republican form of government which is one of The People by The People and for The People as Abraham Lincoln so eloquently stated. The supremacy of the individual citizen is entrenched in all that our founding fathers architected for We The People.

The founders heavily referenced the theories of "natural law" in enumerating the fundamental rights endowed to man by his creator's natural law. They knew that all of importance was, by necessity, to be formally memorized by written constitution which along with the Declaration of Independence was to be the supreme law of the land.

"The natural liberty of man is to be free from any superior power on Earth, and not to be under the will or legislative authority of man, but only to have the law of nature for his rule." - Samuel Adams

"Among the natural rights of the colonists are these: First a right to life, secondly to liberty, and thirdly to property; together with the right to defend them in the best manner they can" - Samuel Adams

"In questions of power, then, let no more be heard of confidence in man, but bind him down from mischief by the chains of the Constitution" - Thomas Jefferson 1798

"The Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people, it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government - lest it come to dominate our lives and interests." - Patrick Henry, first governor of Virginia

The founders were firm believers in individual rights, freedoms, integrity of self (honor), dignity of self, self reliance and responsibility of self.

"The U. S. Constitution doesn't guarantee happiness, only the pursuit of it. You have to catch up with it yourself."- Benjamin Franklin

The founders repeatedly warned us of losing our liberties and that we must protect it at all costs.

"But a Constitution of Government once changed from Freedom, can never be restored. Liberty, once lost, is lost forever." - John Adams

"Fear is the foundation of most governments." - John Adams

"I have accepted a seat in the House of Representatives, and thereby have consented to my own ruin, to your ruin, and to the ruin of our children. I give you this warning that you may prepare your mind for your fate." - John Adams

"The liberties of our country, the freedom of our civil Constitution, are worth defending at all hazards; and it is our duty to defend them against all attacks. We have received them as a fair inheritance from our worthy ancestors: they purchased them for us with toil and danger and expense of treasure and blood, and transmitted them to us with care and diligence. It will bring an everlasting mark of infamy on the present generation, enlightened as it is, if we should suffer them to be wrested from us by violence without a struggle, or to be cheated out of them by the artifices of false and designing men." - Samuel Adams

"It is incumbent on every generation to pay its own debts as it goes. A principle which if acted on would save one-half the wars of the world." - Thomas Jefferson

"The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not." - Thomas Jefferson

"A government big enough to give you everything you want, is strong enough to take everything you have." - Thomas Jefferson

"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants." - Thomas Jefferson

Recent conservative men of government profess We The People's fundamental rights and its advantages.

"No arsenal, or no weapon in the arsenals of the world, is as formidable as the will and moral courage of free men and women." - Ronald Reagan

"Our individual freedom to live as we choose, to come and go as we choose, to believe or not believe as we individually choose." - Judge William Young, US District Court (recently)

Restore Our Union has compiled amendment for our constitution that strictly holds to our founder's grand principles of supreme individual citizens' rights and limited government. These amendments have been compiled to again bring the individual citizen back to supremacy in rights, liberties and authority over government as was the original goal of our founding fathers.

We have looked back into the 230+ years of our history to see how those governing us have perverted our constitution and become tyrannical and why they were able to do it. This, to draft astute amendment to comprehensively fix our government and again return the individual citizen to their rightful position of supremacy.

We The People established a contract for those to govern in our Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States and set forth the terms of governance. We intentionally established a republican union of states with a centralized federal government of very limited powers as only specifically enumerated and reserved all other powers for the states and The People. - Restore Our Union (2010)

"We The People are given authority by the Declaration of Independence in which it commands The People to "alter or abolish" the tyrannical government and form a new government that is fully compliant to our Constitution of the United States of America. This, fellow citizens, can and will be done in full compliance of the Constitution by simply amending it with further enumeration of our founders grand principles." - Restore Our Union.org (2009)
