“If ever the Time should come, when vain and aspiring Men shall possess the highest Seats in Government, our Country will stand in Need of its experienced Patriots to prevent its Ruin.”
Samuel Adams
On June 7, 1776, Richard Henry Lee proposed several resolves in the Continental Congress. These resolves set the stage for the American Colonies to finally separate from Great Britain. And while the Continental Congress did not immediately vote on Lee’s resolves, after some discussion it did move forward with appointing three committees (one for each piece of the resolves) to begin constructing the documents required by the resolves.
Many delegates to the Continental Congress wanted to correspond with the legislatures that sent them, to get instructions on how to proceed. The delegates were generally agreed that this was the only recourse left to the Colonies, but things needed to proceed in an orderly, legal fashion.
The resolves by Lee were clear and clean as to independence and as to the next steps to take.
Resolved, That these United Colonies are, and of right to be, free and independent States, that they are absolved from all allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain is, and ought to be, totally dissolved.
That it is expedient forthwith to take the most effectual measures for forming foreign Alliances.
That a plan of confederation be prepared and transmitted to the respective Colonies for their consideration and approbation.
250 years later, as the cycle of human events has once again turned away from the hard-won liberty of America’s Revolution, the Constitution Party National Committee took a stand against a different form of tyranny and passed the Resolution of 2026.

Resolution to Separate from the Tyranny of the Democratic and Republican Parties
Whereas the Democratic and Republican parties have manipulated the political systems in the United States and created a UNIPARTY to gain and maintain power and control over the rights of Citizens to further their own agenda;
Whereas the UNIPARTY has pitted Citizens against each other for the purposes of fundraising and political theater, disturbing the domestic tranquility of the nation;
Whereas, the UNIPARTY has consistently put the interests of corporate entities before the rights of the Citizens;
Whereas the UNIPARTY has made claims of owning our votes and has used psyops to indoctrinate the public into believing that voting for someone not approved by the UNIPARTY is wrong and harmful.
Whereas the UNIPARTY no longer represents We the People, nor protects our rights;
Be it Resolved, That we Citizens and Voters are, and have a right to be, free and independent in our voting, that we are absolved from all allegiance to the UNIPARTY, and that all political connection between them and the Citizens and Voters of these united States is, and ought to be, totally dissolved to maintain our constitutional governance.
Therefore, the Constitution Party calls on We the People to declare their independence by renouncing their loyalty to the UNIPARTY.
