Principles of Liberty



1 The only reliable basis for sound government and just human relations is Natural Law.

2 A free people cannot survive under a republican constitution unless they remain virtuous and morally strong.

3 The most promising method of securing a virtuous people is to elect virtuous leaders.

4 Without religion the government of a free people cannot be maintained.

5 All things were created by God, therefore upon him all mankind are equally dependent, and to him they are equally responsible .

6 Equal before God. Equal before the law. Equal in their rights.

7 The proper role of government is to protect equal rights, not provide equal things.

8 Mankind are endowed by God with certain unalienable rights.

9 To protect human rights, God has revealed a code of divine law.

10 The God-given right to govern is vested in the sovereign authority of the whole people

.
11 The majority of the people may alter or abolish a government which has become tyrannical.

12 The United States of America shall be a republic.

13 A Constitution should protect the people from the frailties of their rulers.

14 Life and liberty are secure only so long as the rights of property are secure


16 The governments should be separated into three branches .

17 A system of checks and balances should be adopted to prevent the abuse of power by the different branches of government.

18 The unalienable rights of the people are most likely to be preserved if the principles of government are set forth in a written Constitution.

19 Only limited and carefully defined powers should be delegated to government, all others being retained by the people.

20 Efficiency and dispatch require that the government operate according to the will of the majority, but constitutional provisions must be made to protect the rights of the minority.

21 Strong local self-government is the keystone to preserving human freedom.

22 A free people should be governed by law and not by the whims of men.

23 A free society cannot survive as a republic without a broad program of general education.

24 A free people will not survive unless they stay strong.

25 "Peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all nations -- entangling alliances with none."-

26 The core unit which determines the strength of any society is the family; therefore the government should foster and protect its integrity.

27 The burden of debt is as destructive to human freedom as subjugation by conquest.

28 The United States has a manifest destiny to eventually become a glorious example of God's law under a restored Constitution that will inspire the entire human race.
