Do Not be Fooled – The Foundation of Our Nation Is Challenged with Today’s Secret Republican Senate Vote

Look back into European history for a troubling spectre of a political doctrine that has hijacked our national governing.

The doctrine of “monarchical absolutism” asserted that kings derived their authority from God and could not be held accountable for their actions. Thus, those governing were “above” the governed; they were the “Elite” to which the everyday laws did not apply; their existence was in a sphere totally different than any others. The governing enjoyed privilege, wealth, conveniences, and latitudes that were forbidden to the “ruled common man.”

It was this absolutism that prodded the philosopher John Locke to write his First Treatise of Civil Government (1689). He bluntly refuted biased political structures.

It was opposition to this absolutism that spurred the phrase “We the people” in the preamble of the United States Constitution. This phrase is so much more than a motto on a mug; it is one of the most significant phrases in world history. Written over 200 years ago, the phrase symbolizes the very foundation of American politics and states the power of citizens to govern themselves.

These three words emphasize the critical importance of the American people and their role in invalidating absolute government control. This asserts that “We the People” rule as opposed to the Government’s role in having power over the people.

“We The People” affirms that the government of the United States exists to serve its citizens. The supremacy of the people through their elected representatives is recognized in Article I, which creates a Congress consisting of a Senate and a House of Representatives of elected servants.

It is through the elected representatives that Congress is to legislate so as to express the will of the people! The elected officials ARE “servants” of the electorate. The elected officials ARE NOT the “rulers” deciding what their electorate “needs.”

Abraham Lincoln used this concept to honor the soldiers that sacrificed their lives in order “that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.” His words apply to all who die for the foundation of governing by “We the People.”

We are a troubled nation IF the elected politicians believe that voters cannot be trusted with the truth; that the electorate’s positions can be blithely shrugged off.
