"Rights come from God
|
" You have rights antecedent to all earthly governments; rights that cannot be repealed or restrained by human laws; rights derived from the Great Legislator of the Universe." John Adams, second President of the United States " The people are the masters of both Congress and courts, not to overthrow the Constitution, but to overthrow the men who pervert it." "Study the Constitution!" "Let it be preached from the pulpit, proclaimed in legislature, and enforced in courts of Justice." Abraham Lincoln |
The base of power was to remain in WE THE PEOPLE, but unfortunately, it was lost to those leaders acting in the name of the government, such as politicians, bureaucrats, judges, lawyers, etc. As a result, America began acting like a democracy instead of a REPUBLIC. |

"If we love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animated contest of freedom, go home go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." Samual Adams |
