We The People

The most famous words ever written.

These words start the Preamble to the world’s most important document: The US Constitution

The Constitution is the world’s oldest written national governing document. Many countries have rewritten their Constitution multiple times whilst this document has been in existence.

It is the envy of the world.
It established the governance for the Unites States of America, a governance structure unique in the history of man. A structure which recognizes a founding principle that no other nation had ever utilized: Rights of the government are granted by the People. Since these Rights are granted by the People, they can NEVER be taken away by the government.

What is foundational to the American experience, and unique to America, is that these Rights were granted to the People by God, that these Rights are “endowed by their creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”

The writers of the American Constitution were purposeful to balance the Rights of the People and States with the Rights of the Federal government. During the framing of the document, consideration was given to ensuring the Federal governments Rights were limited to those expressly provided. Any Right not expressly enumerated in the Constitution remained a Right of the States.

The Constitution starts with the famous Preamble. Not merely an Executive Summary but a statement establishing the People are creating a government to benefit the People. It is the guiding principle, to form a “more perfect union.”

The Constitution, thru its 7 Articles, establishes the Legislative Branch, it creates the Executive Branch which acknowledges the position of President, it sets up the Judicial Branch and its lower court structure. The last 4 Articles address important issues like federalism, Constitutional amendments, the Supremacy Clause and the process for the ratification of changes. Importantly, the use of the 3, coequal Branches of Government established the unique principal of “Checks and Balances.” The Electoral College was created to ensure the new President wasn’t elected by a simply majority…a means to ensure larger states didn’t hold power over smaller states.

In March 1789, 9 states ratified the new Constitution, creating a Constitutional Republic, a system whereby the People elect their representatives to serve the People with powers which are expressly limited.

Missing from the Constitution, and a source of much debate and angst, is the document America calls the Bill of Rights. The Bill of Rights, famously listing the first 10 Amendments to the Constitution, was passed by Congress 6 months after the implementation of the Constitution. This document is so important and fundamental to the American experience that the Framers of the Constitution had to promise to pass this document after the implementation in order for the Constitution to become ratified.

The Framers of the Constitution took inspiration from great Philosophers. It considered the structure of previous great civilizations like that of the Romans and the Greeks. It incorporated the best ideals from other founding documents like the Magna Carta, Mayflower Compact and the Virginia Declaration of Rights, amongst many others, of course.

Then, the Framers structured a completely unique government and a document that encompassed the brilliance that is the United States of America.

@benny_thejet_30 @Cordae2022 @TheHurricaneBen It’s exactly what happened. The 1B was running ON THE LINE and moved right as soon as Muncy moved left.

Arizona needs a competent 1B.

@TheHurricaneBen Clickbait. Not even remotely true.

@guypbenson @TerminatorBarbi The increase in the number of expected ballots looks pretty similar to the gap between Hilton and Steyer.

Seems like a prediction and not an estimate of votes expected.

@marchellagetsit @mitchellvii The post by Polymarket is misleading. That’s the reason for the whole X thread.

When they publish information out of context, it influences the public.

[Founding Father🇺🇸👍 @Real_2A]

@marchellagetsit @mitchellvii The markets are subject to misinformation when the market maker misrepresents what their platform data indicates. They are also gambling markets (you are wagering on an outcome).

@royermattw Because the law is on the side of Republicans so they resort to law and order.

The law is against the Democrats so they resort to cheating and chaos.

@specialopsmag @millardjc77 If I’m either of those guys, and I find the cave, I wouldn’t need DC’s permission.

Happy to be the guy in the brig because I took out Bin Laden. Happy to be the guy that saved thousands of my fiend’s lives because I adapted and made the call.

@TheCalvinCooli1 Stay focused. What Iran says and does are 2 different things.

If they mean it, then their armed forces will run out of more things than patience.

The WNBA is irrelevant without her. I’d be pissed, if I was her, that the other players fight again her instead of fighting with her.

She’s a revolutionary amongst cowards. The players want “equal pay” but won’t fight for it. And I mean fight for it by making the quality of play better.

Detroit, Boston and Chicago of the 80s NBA had squads full of players that fought to make the play better and it propelled the league.

She’s Jordan surrounded by a bunch of Steve Kerrs.

@KalshiPolitics Just stop. Your site doesn’t measure her “chance” of becoming the nominee. Your site measures the opinions of sheep who are trying to make money by following a betting trend.

You really aren’t that important in the political landscape.

[Founding Father🇺🇸👍 @Real_2A]

No. You are wrong. The action of the Georgia hitter was taunting the Liberty bench. That is never ok. It needs to be eradicated from the game as it just leads to retaliation.

D1 baseball was there before the kids, it will be there after.

These are kids representing a school. They should act accordingly.

@SuppressedNws1 @FredSimonTLM You throw my pregnant wife to the floor and I’m coming for you, as well. You’ll have to beat me to get me off the fecking coward but I’m sending a message.
