We the People of the United States, 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.
Preamble to the Constitution of the United States
When the Framers wrote the Preamble (the Introduction) to the Constitution they had drafted, one of the main purposes they listed was to “secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity”. Sadly, today those blessings stand on the brink of collapse.
What are the Blessings of Liberty?
The Declaration of Independence says that we…
… are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
Declaration of Independence
These are just some of the blessings of liberty. But I was taught that it was wrong to use a word to define itself. So what is this liberty that so many Americans have fought and died for?
Freedom from restraint,…
LIBERTY – Webster’s 1828 Dictionary
The body is at liberty when not confined; the will or mind is at liberty when not checked or controlled.
Now look at your life today. Do you live your life free from restraint? How often have you been confined, by lockdowns, burdensome regulations or licensing laws? Is your mind controlled by others? Are you at liberty, or are you a subject of government? What can you do to secure the Blessings of Liberty?
Blessings of Liberty Tour
The American people have become enslaved to all powerful governments for two basic reasons:
First, an inversion of the power structure in America. The American people are supposed to have power. We have delegated a limited and defined number of powers to the United States. Yet today most Americans live as if they are ruled from Washington, D.C.
Second, we have been taught that is this what the Framers created.
If we wish to enjoy the Blessings of Liberty, we need to restore the proper power structure in this country. To do that, we must be educated by our Founding Fathers about the country they created.
