The purpose of our Government

The Purpose of our Government

“We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.” The United States Constitution

The Preamble to the Constitution of the United States identifies the purpose of government. The Bill of Rights identifies the inalienable rights of the individual. The founding fathers of our Nation were wise enough to understand that without constraints, any government degenerates in tyranny, Buy it now!including ours.

"Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."

- John Adams

1. Form a more perfect Union. The purpose first of the Constitution was to establish a form of Government that would make our Nation Stronger, and allow our citizens to fluorish and prosper.

"Most bad government has grown out of too much government." Thomas Jefferson

2. Establish Justice. The second purpose of our Constitution was to set the main standards for justice. A Nation without respect for it's laws would degenerate into anarchy.

3. Insure Domestic Tranquility. By ensuring that the rights of the individual, as given by God are respected, our Constitution allows for domestic tranquility.

4. Provide for the common defense. The founders understood that through history, violence, anarchy, and tyrants are always around the corner. "The price of freedom is eternal vigilance." Thomas Jefferson

5. Promote the general welfare (within the boundaries of the 18 powers of Congress). "I am for doing good to the poor, but I differ in opinion of the means. I think the best way of doing good to the poor, is not making them easy in poverty, but leading or driving them out of it. In my youth I traveled much, and I observed in different countries, that the more public provisions were made for the poor, the less they provided for themselves, and of course became poorer. And, on the contrary, the less was done for them, the more they did for themselves, and became richer." Benjamin Franklin. "The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not." Thomas Jefferson

6. Ensure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our posterity. It is our duty to protect and maintain our freedoms for us, and for our decendants. "A free people [claim] their rights as derived from the laws of nature, and not as the gift of their chief magistrate." Thomas Jefferson
