Preamble

The Constitution Party gratefully acknowledges the blessing of Almighty God, Preserver and Ruler of the Universe and of these United States. We hereby appeal to Him for mercy, aid, comfort, guidance and the protection of His providence as we work to restore and preserve
these United States.

The goal of the Constitution Party is to restore the American system of law and justice to its Biblical foundations and to limit the federal government to its constitutional boundaries.

The U.S. Constitution established a Republic rooted in Biblical principles of governance, administered by representatives who are constitutionally elected by the citizens. In such a Republic all Life, Liberty and Property must be protected as unalienable rights from our
Creator.

We support the restoration of the US Constitution according to the intentions of the Founders in drafting a document, guided by the hand of Providence, that strictly limits the law making and enforcement powers of the federal government.

We also sustain the Bill of Rights which has served as the strongest bulwark against usurpation of the Constitution’s limitations by activist judges.

We further support all of the principles of liberty embodied in the
Declaration of Independence.

We affirm:

• That each individual is endowed by his Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are the rights to life, liberty, property and the pursuit of happiness;
• That the freedom to own, use, exchange, control, protect, and freely dispose of property is a natural, necessary and inseparable extension of the individual’s unalienable rights;
• That the legitimate function of government is to secure these rights through the preservation of domestic tranquility, the maintenance of a strong national defense, and the promotion of equal justice for all;
• That history makes clear that left unchecked, it is the nature of government to usurp the liberty of its citizens and eventually become a major violator of the people’s rights;
• That it is the right of the people and their respective states to resist the unconstitutional acts of tyrannical government;
• That it is essential to bind government with the chains of the Constitution and carefully divide and jealously limit government powers to those assigned by the consent of the governed.
