Why should the Constitution reign supreme?

I believe the Constitution to be the guideline in deciding what should be the law of the land.

Some people question the wisdom of using the Constitution as a guideline. They argue it is outdated and inappropriate for current situations.

So, why should the Constitution reign supreme?

1. It is the current contract between the people and the government.

2. It was developed by inspired people.

3. It is the document that gives us the most freedom and liberty.

4. It does not infringe on God-given rights. 


What other reasons are there for citing the Constitution as the ultimate authority?

God-given rights

The Declaration of Independence describes life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness as rights that are endowed by Our Creator. They are God-given rights.

This means that no other entity has given us these rights. God gave us those rights when he sent us to earth. Government, organizations, or other entities did not allow us these rights out of the kindness of their collective hearts. 

This is important to remember because if you start to believe that you are generously allowed these rights by another, you give them the power to take those rights away from you. A complaint might sound like, "Come on, be nice." Weak.

I retain my God-given rights because I am a person. Strong.

Our Founding Fathers understood this principle. It is what propelled them to act strongly in defense of those rights.
