Recessional of the Sons of the American Revolution:
“Until we meet again, let us remember our obligations to ourDr. Benjamin Franklin, when asked if we had a republic or a monarchy, replied "A Republic, if you can keep it."
forefathers who gave us our Constitution, the Bill of Rights,
an independent Supreme Court and a nation of free men.”
Well, even back then, some still didn’t have it quite right. Our forefathers didn’t give us our rights. As the Declaration of Independence, which is presumed in the Constitution, says, our rights are pre-existent and God-given as we are born with our “natural” rights including Life, Liberty, and the Pursuits of Happiness.
As the Ninth and Tenth Amendments confirm, the first eight amendments are a reminder to the feds of a sampling of pre-existent rights they are not to touch, notwithstanding the other pre-existent rights not mentioned.
Please include me in the ping list.
Thanks.
