re: #250 Sharmuta

The Constitution was designed to limit the power of government. When free men institute a government, they automatically resign some of their rights to the government to act for them. This is why the Constitution limits the power of the federal government- so that the rights we did not resign would remain ours.


No, Sharmuta. Man has no interest in handing over some of his rights in favor of the protection of others. Ultimately, that is a compromise on his freedom. Man establishes a government for one proper purpose: to protect his rights (all of them).
