God and Country 2

The Constitution of the United States was created by winning a conflict driven by some duly appointed men of the original thirteen colonies agreeing on a principle that all men are created equal. In some of their minds that meant land owners while some believed it was all men and women regardless of financial stability or origin of birth.

Jefferson tried to get in all inclusive, but the house sent it back to be rewritten. However he and his colleges were able to provide methods to amend the constitution without destroying the spirit.

The spirit of the constitution was to abide by the Declaration of Independence and the Preamble of the Constitution which clearly states that all men or created equal.

The struggle was because the Constitution didn’t suddenly become law on July 4, 1776. It took much debate, prayer trial, and error to realize there had to be a sovereign led entity throughout the process. Just as God was sovereign over all our spirits the federal government had to be sovereign over the states. Of course there had to be safeguards because the federal government would be operated by human beings.

Like a contract you would make with anyone, you both agree to abide by the conditions in the contract. All the states made a contract with the federal government in the constitution. This says we believe in the principles written in the Constitution we have to agree before any principle can be changed. Therefore the Constitution controls the person rather than the person controlling the Constitution.

Even if congress makes a law that might skirt a constitutional principle the Supreme Court can nullify the law because it does not follow the principle.

***We have five major political parties Democrats, Republicans, and Independence are the three main parties with two more parties within the Republican and Independent party witch has an agenda that is not constitutional all.

The first of these two does not want to do the governments work which is outlined in the Constitution. They seem to believe if a person is not well born and is not achieving enough self produced subsistence they are not worthy to be involved in our government. Therefore, they might make it hard to vote or receive benefits from the more fortunate.

The next party is a rougher bunch. They seem to believe that negotiations are not worth their time because there mind has already reached the conclusion they deem correct whether it is or not.

When these two sub-parties swear to uphold the Constitution I do not believe they are serious. When differences appear in the operation of our government either local, state, and federal they should be debated by properly arguing the different side of the disagreement.

When one side looses and the other side wins by presenting a motion on the floor, it is a congressional decision. If it is important and one side holds the discussion back just to stop something that should be decided, that is not upholding the oath they swore to uphold the constitution.

This is what I am concerned about. The spirit of the Constitution and the spirit of the Christian Bible which is the root of the values in our Constitution. Additionally we don’t teach and follow the importance of sovereignty.
