Our U.S Constitution and Founding Documents

The American Founders emphasized the importance of education for citizens.  Each generation must pass on the principles for self-government, the value of liberty,  and a healthy fear of government encroachment on freedom, property rights, and the vitality of the American family.   The founders developed founding documents that recognized the timeless frailties of human nature.  They carefully put in place a structure to prevent the concentration of power.

The Law the Way It Should Be

President James Madison emphasized that the law must be simple and understandable so that all the people can learn and teach it.  “It will be of little avail to the people that the laws are made by men of their own choice if the laws be so voluminous that they cannot be read, or so incoherent that they cannot be understood;  if they be repealed or revised before they are promulgated, or undergo such incessant changes that no man, who knows what the law is today, can guess what it will be tomorrow.   Law is defined to be a rule of action; but how can that be a rule, which is little known or less fixed?”

 The Human tendency to make laws complex in Society.

Over the centuries in ancient Israel, a class of so-called learned men arose who made the laws complex and multi-faceted.  They introduced a wide variety of interpretations and applications which required the scrutiny of Talmudic scholars to defend a person before the judges.   When the skillful ones confronted Jesus and tried to trip him up, he said that their scribes, Pharisees, and lawyers had “laden men with burdens grievous to be borne.”  He called them hypocrites and whited sepulchers because they didn’t even live according to the laws they accused others of violating.  Even worse, they made their livingby presenting themselves as necessary interpreters of the complex laws they had invented.

"The more laws, the less justice."

              Quote by: Marcus Tullius Cicero   (106-43 B.C.) Roman Statesman, Philosopher and Orator

"Government big enough to supply everything you need is big enough to take everything you have ... The course of history shows that as a government grows, liberty decreases." -- Thomas Jefferson

Feeling the loss of Liberty?

  • There are over 4000 criminal felony laws written by Congress.
  • Laws that conflict with the Constitution are invalid and void.
  • U.S. Congresses for years have totally ignored the Constitution.


There is a remedy to too much Federal concentration of power,  Unconstitutional Laws,  special interest legislation,  the government controlling progressive income tax system,  and arbitrary regulations by bureaus and agencies.    Reach back to history and understand the remedy advocated by our greatest statesman.

How to resist Federal tyranny.
