The Supreme Law

The U.S. Constitution is the supreme law, above any state or federal laws. The Constitution is the highest law of the land that everyone must obey. The Supreme Court, Congress, and even the President must abide by these laws. Our Founding Fathers declared that we have certain rights as human beings and those rights cannot be taken away. These Natural Rights are 1. Right to life- this is the right to live without fear of being killed or injured by another person. 2.Right to Liberty- this is the right to be free! to say what you want, believe what you want and to travel where you want. 3.Right to Property- this is the right to own things. Your work and labor are also considered your property. The Purpose for having a government is to protect the rights of the People. The People are us-you-me and all tax paying American Citizens. The Constitution states very clearly that The People hold the Power. The Power belongs to us. The People grant Powers to those who serve in government. The People have the right to revoke those powers at any time. The Constitution sets limits on what those in government can and cannot do. This is to help prevent the government from violating our rights. The People grant powers to the government only so long as the leaders fulfill their responsibilities to us, if not The People can take back those powers and hire others to take their place. Every person in our government has taken an oath to represent us (you and I) to speak and act for us only as directed by us and in a way that is in our best interest. They do not have the Authority or Power to run things as they want to. That would be Dictatorship not Democracy.” The Power comes from the People and the People are the ultimate source of the authority of the government. All persons in government are the servants of the People. They are not the masters of the People.”
