Give rights to governments, not people. Government will be given a set of rights that allow it to do only certain things. Government would be restricted from doing anything it has not explicitly been given the right to do.

Defining what the government is for, will take care of most of the “what” it can do.

Governments do not have rights. They have authorities. People have rights. People give governments the authority to act. People give the governments authority to grant permits that allow the people to do things that would otherwise be illegal.

Rights are rights. They cannot be given or taken away.

Hypothetically.

Governments which do not govern by the consent of the people must be put down like the criminals they are.

This is just plain retarded. I'm sorry, but the idea is just so stupid it's embarrassing that the people who came up with it are thought to be some of the greatest thinkers in history.

Rights are boundaries that are drawn up with intimidation and with the exercise of force, they come from the tip of a spear or the barrel of a gun, not nature or god.

No. He's absolutely correct, except for lack of a single word, "lawfully".

A person, and nothing else, is granted by the person's "Creator" (Capital C, singular) with unalienable (this word has a very clear meaning) rights. This is a "self-evident truth" that's referred to by our forefathers.

The government may not LAWFULLY infringe on those rights. Governments all over the globe infringe upon the rights of the people, but they do it UNLAWFULLY and are therfore illegitimate and subject to extreme rejection like we saw in 1776 against the British Empire.

That is exactly what the Bill of Rights is. A list of things the gov. can NOT do.

I'm proposing the opposite. A list of the things Government is allowed to do. It would be forbidden from doing anything other than what it was explicitly given the right to do.

That would be the rest of the constitution.

I believe the US constitution does just that. The problem is, when the gubmint takes power where it shouldn't, it is up to the people to address the situation through the courts. Now that we have Soros judges everywhere, we get Soros gubmint.

You mean like the constitution?

[ - ] Nosferatjew 0 points 2.2 yearsFeb 28, 2023 16:04:21 ago (+0/-0)

Yeah... how's that thing holding up over time?

[ - ] AntiPostmodernist [op] 0 points 2.2 yearsFeb 28, 2023 17:54:20 ago (+0/-0)

I think everyone here is failing reading comprehension.

My proposal is not a list of things the government cannot do. But instead a lit of the things government CAN do. The government will be unable to do anything that is not included in that list. I believe such a way of structuring the foundational; documents is a good way to avoid all manner of fuckery that we could not conceive of which the jews would no doubt use their influence to try and circumnavigate.

You're describing the constitution. The federal government cannot do anything not specifically empowered to do by the constitution. Unless it's specifically stated, the federal government can't do it and whatever "it" is, is a power left to the states of the people themselves.
