I did not start with the idea of breaking down the Constitution bit by bit but when I saw the amount of information that has been lost in the teaching of the Constitution this will be the best way to get people to understand the who, what and why about the Constitution. Most of the information I will present is common knowledge it is all out there if you want to look and find it. There is no grand conspiracy to cover it up, it is my guess that in the beginning there was no need to rewrite books tear out pages or try to hide anything. It was hard to track down information a long with at one time people had trust in the government and they relied on the lack of educated people in the early years of America. No one ever dreamed that all information would one day be at the tips of your fingers.
I am taking on this project because I have often heard liberals say things such as, how are we to know what the Founding Fathers were thinking when they wrote this or that. The Constitution was meant to be a living breathing document or it is just a framework meant to be changed with the times we live in. I will present the things that I have found during my research, hopefully in an orderly manner so the reader can decide for his or her self on the intent of “We the People“ and our Founding Fathers as to what they sought to accomplish. This first section is a bit lengthy I hope you don’t get bored.
The preamble of The Constitution according to the way courts have looked at it, contains reliable evidence of the Founding Fathers intentions of what they wanted to accomplish with the writing of The Constitution as the document to replace the The Articles of Confederation.
We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
Looking at it as an Average American this is how I see it. The preamble starts off with the most important phrase in The Constitution. If there is any doubt or confusion at all the questions should return to the phrase “We the People“. Every question on any tax, law, regulation should come back to “We the People“ because we were the sovereigns for the first time in the history of the world. We won our freedom from The Sovereign King George of England, when that happened we had no government no king or queen, we were sovereign people we paid no tax we answered to no one, we were Kings and Queens. Now understanding the conditions that the Articles of Confederation and The Constitution were written under, if any question should arise what do you think the Kings and Queens of America intended when they gave their permission to have a limited Constitution or in other words a document to limit the power of government. They had just fought a long and bloody war for their freedom, do you think they intended to have a document that one day tax them into poverty and allow federal officials to take their money and give it to their neighbor.
Following that phrase is “to create a more perfect Union“ the word Union simply put is the joining of the individual states. The whole phrase taken in its entirety refers to the joining of the states as a way of more perfectly defending themselves against the super powers of the day England France and Spain. Individually a state fighting alone did not stand a chance of winning so the Constitution banded them together in mutual defence of each other. Another reason for the phrase “to create a more perfect Union“ under the Articles of confederation there was no central power to allow for the settling of disputes between states or the citizens of the states. That is the reason for the the third partner in the co equal government of the United states of America. Just by joining together they stood a better chance of creating a more perfect Union because the ideas about government were shared and not spread out over thirteen states with thirteen sets of rules.
At this point we now have “We the People of The United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, We are now up to one of the phrases that the government uses to illegally tax us, promote the general welfare. To start off the Federal Government has no legal basis for using the general welfare clause no where in the Constitution is it written that the Federal Government has any right to look after the general welfare of we the Sovereign people of the United States. That phrase is the primary reason the tenth amendment was written and ratified in 1791.
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.
The general welfare clause is also called the spending clause because the the government uses it to justify spending money on everything, as it is not allowed in the constitution which is a document written to limit the power of the Federal government it is left up to the states to spend the money or the people to spend it through charity.
To finish up the preamble we have “secure the Blessing of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity. This part of the preamble deals with us the people and our children or our Posterity, I don’t need a book to figure out the meaning of this. All I have to do think back to around the time the Constitution was written people carrying weapons for hunting and protection the government couldn’t come onto your land or invade your house, there was barely a tax to be seen and I compare it to today. Do you think you are as free as the people over 200 years ago or do you think that your children will even be as free as you and I. All I can think about are all the rights the money and the blood that those greedy SOB’s in power have stolen from us and continue to steal from “We the people“ The rightful owners of the United States after the Revolution war every citizen was a sovereign, a KING or a QUEEN who gave that away and when did it happen
