====== Foundations of Freedom ======


"Are we so naive that we believe that a federal government that becomes a tyranny would propose amendments to restrain its own tyranny?"


----

|The Declaration of Independence is the foundation that our Constitution was built upon.\\ \\ > //"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed..."//\\ \\ There are four fundamental principles found in the above:\\ \\ - Truths: there is a right and a wrong.\\ - Freedom comes from God, not government. Government's job is to protect the rights God has given us.\\ - The only just power of government comes from the consent of the governed.\\ - Pursuit of happiness: the free enterprise system.\\ \\ Our great country is off course, but the Framers gave us a tool that bypasses Washington, D.C., allowing We the People to change our trajectory.  \\ \\ As George Mason once said, "Are we so naive that we believe that a federal government that becomes a tyranny would propose amendments to restrain its own tyranny?"\\ \\ He and the Framers foresaw this day.
