We the People . . . our responsibility
The United States Constitution defines who we are. It sets the boundaries for what our government can or cannot do. It makes us a free people.
I hear many discussions about what is right or wrong with America. There are many opinions out there. In my view, all of these opinions must be taken to the central authority for our nation: How do these opinions square with what's in the Constitution?
An opinion which contradicts the Constitution is invalid. To deny a person free speech, or to promote public religion, or prohibit private religion, or to search without a warrant, or to detain without trial are all violations of the Constitution.
When our leaders fail to protect and defend the Constitution, and pursue to political (or even criminal) purposes, they should be held to accounts.
We the people are responsible for knowing the Constitution. We the people can either keep it alive, or we can watch it perish.
