Benjamin Franklin
said that "Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom."
The
virtue of a society is tied directly to its definition of natural rights. The Founding Fathers understood that our
rights are God-given, and the greatest threat to our rights is government. The federal government was not established to
be the guarantor or protector of our rights.
In fact, if you read the language of the Bill of Rights, the explicit
message is “hands off our rights, do not touch!”
The
First Amendment begins, “Congress shall make no law.” The Second Amendment ends with “shall not be
infringed.” The Third Amendment begins
with, “No soldier shall.” The center of
the Fourth Amendment reads, “shall not be violated.” At no point in reading the Bill of Rights can
I come to the conclusion that government has been given the authority to
interfere with our natural rights. In fact,
the reality is quite the contrary.
