Reviving Our Constitution

  • "The only reliable basis for sound government and just human relations is Natural Law."


  • "A free people cannot survive under a republican constitution unless they remain virtuous and morally strong."


  • The most promising method of securing a virtuous people is to elect virtuous leaders.


  • "Without religion the government of a free people cannot be maintained."


  • "The proper role of government is to protect equal rights, not provide equal things."


  • "The God-given right to govern is vested in the sovereign authority of the whole people."


  • "The majority of the people may alter or abolish a government which has become tyrannical."
  • "Life and liberty are secure only so long as the rights of property are secure."


  • "The highest level of prosperity occurs when there is a free-market economy and a minimum of government 

    • "The unalienable rights of the people are most likely to be preserved if the principles of government are set forth in a written Constitution."


    • "Only limited and carefully defined powers should be delegated to government, all others being retained by the people."


    • "Efficiency and dispatch require that the government operate according to the will of the majority, but constitutional provisions must be made to protect the rights of the minority."


    • "Strong local self-government is the keystone to preserving human freedom."


    • "A free people should be governed by law and not by the whims of men."


    • "The core unit which determines the strength of any society is the family; therefore the government should foster and protect its integrity."


    • "The burden of debt is as destructive to human freedom as subjugation by conquest."
