is this Liberty? or is it death?
What kind of life did the Framers Envision for themselves and future Americans?
standard
of liberty
The Framers of the Constitution raised a Standard of Liberty that they envisioned would be safeguarded by . . .
we the people of the united states
Delivering Liberty
to the People
Since 1776.
In order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
Established 1992.
the life the framers dreamed possible
The Framers of the Constitution conceived of a popular sovereignty. Jefferson expresses it in the Declaration of Independence, “Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed…” which is then codified by the Constitution.
George Washington
“Let us raise a standard to which the wise and honest can repair . . .“
Constitutional Convention of 1787
Thomas Jefferson
Government degenerates when trusted to the rulers of the people alone. The people themselves are its only safe depositories.
Notes on Virginia, 1789
John Adams
Liberty must at all hazards be supported. We have a right to it, derived from our Maker. But if we had not, our fathers have earned and bought it for us, at the expense of their ease, their estates, their pleasure, and their blood.
Boston Gazette, October 14, 1765
Shared passion of the constitution party
The Framers established a standard of liberty that we have inherited, and it is the duty of their posterity, the citizens of the Republic – that’s us today – to preserve it.
The “Intent” of the Framers was to create a land of peace, prosperity, and liberty for everyone who shares that vision.
They created something that had never happened in the world before their time. They drew ideas from the works of thinkers, philosophers, and religious leaders of past eras, as well as those of their own time.
They molded these ideas into a structure that has stood the test of time and has become a global model still sought after in the 21st Century.
THE PROBLEM:
We have lost our way. Most Americans feel in their soul that something is not quite right. They hear politicians and other leaders talk about the Constitution but then act in different ways, ways which promote ideologies and policies which violate the foundational principles of America. They take great pleasure in accusing each other of doing wrong while they are committing the same wrongs.
We have stopped teaching the basic principles in our public schools. We have replaced those principles with ideas that the Framers would have found abhorrent, and against which they fought when the crafted the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.
THE SOLUTION:
Teach the People to . . .
- Live the Principles of Liberty
- Be Self-Governing
- Preserve and Maintain Liberty
- Build for Future Generations
- Elect Constitutionally Committed Candidates
That Rights Are . . .
- Inherent from our Creator to All Humans
- Unalienable
- Not Created by Government
- Secured by government, its Only Reason for existing.
That The States . . .
- Are Free, Independent, and Sovereign Nations
- Created the Federal Government
- Are Superior to the Federal Government, which is the Servant of the States and the People
we are like you.
we are the people.
we are the inheritors of the framers’ dream.
we are the
constitution party.
Our mission is to secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity through the election of Constitution Party candidates, at all levels of government, who will uphold the principles of the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution of the United States, and the Bill of Rights.
