U.S. Constitution. Part 1

Written by Biloxi

I decided to have a daily series of certain passages on the blog of the U.S. Constitution. As you all know, our U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights are in jeopardy, being water down, and slowly being stripped away from the lawmakers in power. As Alexander Hamilton said: "Those who stand for nothing fall for anything." People are asleep at the wheel and they need to fight for their rights and the enemies are not necessary only Al-Queda or terrorists. But, the enemies is the within.Someone needs to remind Congress and Senate to read and understand the U.S. Constitution and the decisions that they make everyday on bills that matter to the American people. Here is one passage from the U.S. Constitution of the Right of the People:

From U.S. Constitution:

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

Thanks SPB we all need to review the US Constitution and the Declaration of Independence. I guess Americans forget it's We the People and not the Law Makers. I did notice how detailed the Constitution give on the qualifications of the President, Vice President and other Law Makers. One question cleared up is Bush and Cheney did commit crimes clearly that allowed them to impeached. I guess Nancy Pelosi didn't read this either.
