Expressions of Liberty

A commentary on the governmental respect for natural human rights as expressed by the founders of the United States and how it effects us today. I also show how the Declaration of Independence and the United States Constitution and other related documents are not dead documents in America today, but merely ignored and misused.

Name:
Location: Champaign, Illinois, United States

I am a classical liberal which is considered a type of conservative in these modern days. I am pro-right to life, pro-right to liberty, pro-parental rights, pro-right to property and a number of other natural human rights.

Three Amendments To The Constitution President Bush Must Recommend Be Passed

President Bush is faltering but he can strengthen himself if he remembers those whom voted for him.

Families are concerned for what he can do to strengthen families including parental rights. I suggest that he move to place a parental right amendment in the constitution. The parental right amendment should rely heavily on what John Locke wrote in his Second Treatise on Government. The amendment should be that parents have responsibility for their children’s actions and so authority over their children’s right to liberty prior to their 18th birth day unless deprived of it by due process of law.

He should also suggest a right to liberty amendment be added to the Constitution. The right to liberty should also be based on John Locke’s writings and should go that any citizen has absolute liberty to dispose of himself or his posses but he has no liberty to destroy himself, or so much as any creature in his possession, but where some nobler use than that liberties bare preservation calls for it. It should also define liberty as all rights, privileges and immunities of citizens of the United States.

He should also suggest an amendment that states that any terms in the Constitution whose meaning is left in doubt are to be defined by the applicable state or federal legislatures.

Those three amendments can be combined into one amendment and whether or not they are they can strengthen Bush and the Republican party even further if he mentions he is proposing them in order to fulfill the Declaration of Independence’s requirement that the Government is to act to secure the peoples rights. He should also mention it is his duty to the God of the United States who the signers also claim as theirs at the closure of the Constitution and also to his oath to preserve, protect, and defend that same Constitution to insure the blessings of liberty for all citizens of the United States and their decedents.

If he does this he will tie the Republican Party in with loyalty to the ideals embraced as truth by the founders and start a debate that has the chance of returning the United States to the ideals of liberty and justice for all. Another plus would be that the ACLU and their allies will be furious to say the least.
