The first three articles of the Constitution provide the three branches of government their role and responsibilities to keep checks and balances on personal liberty and rights. All who serve in these branches swear to uphold the Constitution, but do they understand that we have developed outside the confines of the document. The once limited government is now large and with unlimited influence. Congress and the Senate work around the clock to show Americans that they are deserving of their vote while they cash in on the privileges granted to them. The Executive branch operates on executive orders and oversees the law and order of the country. Our President and law enforcement gets their authority through this Article. Since 1933, Presidents have abused their powers through the declaration of emergency powers. This was critical for over 450 decrees that made them no different than the Kings and Queens we chose to separate from in the 1700’s. During the pandemic we once again entered an undetermined length of emergency which gave the office of president unchecked powers. Our judicial system is flawed. They rule on what is Constitutional. Who or what gave them that right? “We the People” are the sole owners of what is constitutional. The Supreme Court has usurped this and the citizens have accepted it as truth. Where in the constitution was this authorized? On Part IV, we highlight Michael Badnarik’s innate ability to make you question what you thought you knew. Go to badnarik.org to check out his life’s work, and purchase a book for you and a friend.

The Constitution was, by design, enacted to prevent the centralization of power. Our Founders codified the assurance of decentralized power, and other irrevocable rights, in our Constitution’s Bill of Rights. Limiting the power of the central government was expressly detailed in Article Ten, which succinctly states, “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.” https://lnkd.in/gbSBY2Ty

RECONSTRUCTING STATE REPUBLICS - PDF: https://lnkd.in/g_r2EKZp Our national political dysfunction is rooted in constitutionally dysfunctional states. States today are devolving into modern aristocracies through laws that depress popular control, entwine wealth and power, and insulate incumbents from democratic oversight and accountability. These unrepublican states corrupt the entire United States. It is for this reason that the Constitution obligates the United States to restore ailing states to their full republican strength. But how? For all its attention to process, the Constitution is silent on how the United States may exercise its sweeping Article IV power to “guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government.” As states descend into aristocratic cabals, the question of how to enforce the guarantee is of existential importance. This Article illuminates three enforcement mechanisms: direct legislation, federal incentives, and reconstructing state governments. It establishes that Congress, not the U.S. Supreme Court, is the institutional actor most capable of addressing the republican rot now plaguing the states.

James Madison ... Too Much Federal Power James Madison discovered many people frightened by the Constitution when it was presented for ratification because they felt a federal government was being given autocratic authority. Madison declared: "The adversaries of the Constitution seem to have lost sight of the PEOPLE altogether in their reasonings on this subject; and to have viewed these different establishments not only as mutual rivals and enemies, but as uncontrolled by any common superior in their efforts to usurp the authorities of each other. These gentlemen must here be reminded of their error. They must be told that the ULTIMATE AUTHORITY, wherever the derivative may be found, RESIDES IN THE PEOPLE ALONE." (The Federalist emphasis added.) Papers, No. 46, p. 294; But even if it is acknowledged that the people are divinely endowed with the sovereign power to govern, what happens if elected or appointed officials usurp the authority [page 145] of the people to impose a dictatorship or som form of abusive government on them? Where are we now? The Founders were well acquainted with the vexations resulting from an abusive, autocratic government which had imposed injuries on the American colonists for thirteen years in violation of the English constitution. Thomas Jefferson's words in the Declaration emphasized the feelings of the American people when he wrote: of Independence therefore "Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and, accordingly, all experience has shown, that MANKIND ARE MORE DISPOSED TO SUFFER, WHILE EVILS ARE SUFFERABLE, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. "But, when a long train of abuses and USURPATIONS, pursuing invariably the same object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security." (Annals of America, 2:447-48.) When is enough...enough. When will our elected representatives serve us and not the Washington establishment? When will Biden finally usurp enough, ignore the Constitution enough for those elected leaders to do something?
