Bill of Rights: The Founders’ Vision is Dead and Gone

The author's failure to discuss the 14th Amendment as the basis for applying the Bill of Rights to the States is astonishing.  It's as if he believes the States should be able to do anything they want to, as long as there's no explicit prohibition in the Constitution.

So what the Colonists had no concept if living independently before the American revolution? Didn’t Thomas Jefferson himself visit independent living before the American Revolution, how was he so certain he should document such a statement?

So, for example, the Tenth Amendment stated what Thomas Jefferson called the underlying principle of the entire Constitution: “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.” In other words, the Constitution gave the Federal Government a few enumerated powers, and those were all.

Isn’t this underlying principle based on Independent Living in these states or the independent people? Over King George III Populous agendas?

America’s Revolution was fought and won in the name of self-government via elections to state legislatures. King George III and Parliament insisted that those legislatures could legislate only when and as far-off officials essentially unaccountable to American colonists said they could. The Americans rejected that idea. In fact, rejecting that idea was what made Britain’s North American colonists into Americans.

So it was fought in the name of Independent self Governing without the over reaching of Governing? The Americans, the Independent deciding at that time? Resisting any such nonsense as British rule and corruption?

Funny how it sounds when you write it in living english versus passed down over and over language from book to book comprehensions. Who dare put on the shoes of those before them and live it out.

The truth is the Constitution had so much rebellion because of those pretending to be Independent while repulsing the thought of such an event and interpretations became the practice of influence and compromise over good distinct examples as written in the Declaration of Independence, the very first choice to discontinue dependence from a criminal source.

Clearly by the time the Bills of Rights was being conceived clear evidence of intruders was widely apparent so more limits were being demanded to secure independence in American Living

In the late 1800s there was evidence Corporate intrusion was taking place and by the early 1900s it took over Federal Government in the Form of the Federal Reserve and was now apparent that no resistance was going to take place.

So somewhere in those 1800s the idea of living independently became corrupt probably through the conformity to Religious ways of living which was killing independence as a way all upon its own.

 I hate to be a party pooper, really we have gotten so literal with these writings and talk like people were robots in that time, hardly, like us they wanted to live and sustain in communities as well sustain the community but popular became a way of Life rather than independent review of examples. It became the intellectual era where standing on a podium exceeded proof of concept. But look how well he expressed himself he must know what he is talking about like our paster. The bantering about over interpretations and the ability to make others look wrong again with no examples of proof. Today this whole concept is only enhanced 100 fold, a bunch of non producing non independent minds making choices with prestige over substance. These habits have infiltrated everything we do today and not one will discuss the origin of America at all. To be Independent rather than dependent upon criminals.

I asked what Independence meant to people and how have they lived it and what examples of it can they share. Guess how many responded? 2 and one put down the definition in the dictionary and not one example and other only expressed he was but not what it meant or any examples.

I have tested this other places also, my favorite is those with Graduate degrees, man what party that is. These people are completely clueless. This does not mean I don't like them or do not respect all the work they have put in, I truly do but their examples suck.

The constitution in one word is Liberty when it is applied by the principles in the Declaration of Independence which is the entire foundation or why have Liberty at all. Independence came first and securing this was implemented by the constitution in support of LIFE (independent minds of choice) to have in place Liberty, Limits to those they appointed to govern who were only their to secure this way of living. This in turn allowed independent minds to use this ability to manifest their own imaginations to sustain them, their families, their community and their state. In other words to Pursue achievements that would manifest this happiness of living in such a manner and share with others the examples of ourselves.

Yet no one gets it, all pretend to know and understand and not one thing changes, why? Add this to an attempt to correct something so corrupt it is out of this world and all this energy is exerted with some high hope yet 0 is really accomplished because the corrupt still exists bigger now than when we started. We refuse to use our own start, we refuse to fully understand its contents, we refuse to learn about ourselves from such an exploration.

So I will ask all of you;

What does independence mean to you as you lived it and what examples can you share? 

I will post mine when two reply with theirs. Lets us see each other and really find out what we really know about our own new beginning, it should be good.

The Amendments, which comprise the Bill of Rights, would be easier to understand if they had been titled the Bill of Prohibitions or Bill of Restraints.

When the Bill of Rights is read through the preamble, it shows that none of the Amendments define or limit the extent of the individual rights of the people. The Amendments do, however, define and enumerate the extent of the restraints placed on the powers of the federal government concerning the rights of the people and the powers reserved to the States.

We need to stop using and start rejecting statements like “First Amendment Right of free speech” or “Constitutional right of free speech.” We have the right of free speech and the First Amendment simply placed a constitutional prohibition or restraint on the powers of the federal government concerning the right. The Amendment did not grant us this right.

The road to resurrecting the intent of the Amendments should start right now, right here, and with us. Whenever the intent of the Amendments is mischaracterized, we need use it as an educational moment to enlighten our fellow citizens.
