Our Constitution and Bill of Rights are diametrically opposed to Karl Marx’s utopian ideals and his philosophy of placing the state above man. The original ten amendments to the Constitution place limits on the federal government’s power and bestow irrevocable rights to the citizens. These rights are critically important today because, as I write, those in leadership are working behind the scenes and sometimes openly to forfeit our national sovereignty to a world body, namely the United Nations.
Men like Thomas Jefferson and James Madison realized that the Constitution granted power to the Central Government, but the rights of those governed were not sufficiently addressed. To rectify that, they composed Ten Rights that were amendments to the Constitution and became known as our “Bill of Rights.”
However, I never cease to be amazed at how few people have ever read them, remember reading them, or know what they are. Let me be blunt; you can only expect to be granted your Constitutional Rights if you know what they are. How can you argue for or against them if you do not know what they are?
So, please take the time to read this short listing of the “Bill of Rights”:
First Amendment: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, prohibiting the free exercise thereof, abridging the freedom of speech or of the press, or the right of the people peaceably to assemble and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Second Amendment: A well-regulated Militia being necessary to the security of a Free State, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.
Third Amendment: No Soldier shall, in time of peace, be quartered in any house, without the consent of the Owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law.
Fourth Amendment: The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects against unreasonable searches and seizures shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched and the persons or things to be seized.
Fifth Amendment: No person shall be held to answer for any capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.
Sixth Amendment: In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district where the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have Assistance of Counsel for his defense.
Seventh Amendment: In suits at common law, where the value in controversy shall exceed twenty dollars, the right of trial by jury shall be preserved, and no fact tried by a jury shall be otherwise re-examined in any court of the United States than according to the rules of common law.
Eighth Amendment: Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishment inflicted.
Ninth Amendment: The enumeration in the Constitution of certain rights shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.
Tenth Amendment: 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.
How many of these rights do we still have today? How many are we in danger of losing with this Administration? We are in a crisis and at a crossroads in America, and it is up to each of us individually to stand up, speak up, and Vote!
Our vote in every election expresses to everyone observing what we desire politically. If we want to see it completely destroyed, then either do not vote or vote for the followers of toxic anti-American liberalism.
Let us all pull together and work together to see America have the opportunity for restoration! God bless you, and God bless America!
