Individuals
have rights granted to them by their Creator. Governments, on the other
hand are the artificial entities created by the people. Governments are
like corporations, and derive their power and authority from their
creators. Our government is an agent of the people and was created by
the people their God given rights. The government was created by the
consent of the governed and the people have a right to withdraw their
consent when the government assumes powers that were not delegated to
them in the Constitution. A government that is unrestrained will
inevitably abuse its power and become tyrannical. Only by strict
adherence to the Constitution can this outcome be prevented.
Corporations
are governed by a charter known as the Articles of Incorporation and
governments receive their delegated powers from the people in a document
known as the Constitution. The authority of a corporation or a
government is limited to powers delegated to them by the people. All
powers not delegated to the United States government are reserved to the
states and to the people.
When a
government created to secure the life, liberty and property of the
people exceeds its lawful authority and becomes tyrannical it is the
right and the duty of the people to alter or abolish that government.
