If the United States Constitution is such a great document, why is it not the basis by which the United States treats everyone else around the world?
Why is the spirit of the United States Constitution not the basis for United States Foreign Policy?
Why is there a discrepancy between United States Government behaviour within United States borders and external to United States borders?
Are only Americans worthy of being treated with Respect and Dignity by the United States Government?
Maybe this is why the United States Government is beginning to treat Americans the same way it treats everyone else around the world.
Maybe the inconsistency was just not sustainable.
Liberty at Home, Tyranny Abroad,
eventually becomes, Tyranny Everywhere.
Paper Principles 1
Do Americans that value the principles stated within the United States Constitution and the Bill of Rights, do so because those principles are written in a document?
Or, do those documents simply reflect their own deeply held principles?
In other words, are One’s values and principles derived from a document, or is the document a reflection of One’s own values and principles?
There is a substantive difference between the two perspectives.
If a document is a reflection of personal principles, then the document is merely codifying those principles and the document itself is of no inherent value.
Because a document can be reproduced, refined and improved at any time.
Robust Moral Principles are innate to the Sovereign Individual.
The Sovereign Individual is the Source.
The Sovereign Individual is the Source of either Robust Moral Principles, or Flimsy Moral Principles.
Wielding the Constitution like a magical parchment, does not bestow the holder with any special powers.
Those that state, the United States Constitution is just a piece of paper, are correct.
It is the principles underlying the document that matter.
