WHAT ARE WE THE PEOPLE SUPPOSE TO DO WHEN FREEDOM IS BEING TAKEN

“….that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these Ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its Foundation on such Principles, and organizing its Powers in such Form, as to them shall seem most likely to affect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient Causes; and accordingly, all Experience hath shewn, that Mankind are more disposed to suffer, while Evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the Forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long Train of Abuses and Usurpation's, pursuing invariably the same Object, evinces a Design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their Right, it is their Duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future Security. Such has been the patient Sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the Necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government.”
Our founders said that when government uses despotic means to suppress the rights of the people, those rights that have been endowed to each individual by our Creator, by God, then we have not only the right but the duty to replace that government. The founders caution us, and they followed this same principle when designing our Constitution, that these serious actions must not be for transient causes. The Declaration of Independence declares without hesitation that people were never intended to live under the despotic demands of government in any form. They emphatically tell us that in our nation the purpose of government is not to limit or grant rights and liberties, they have already been granted by God, but the purpose of government is to protect those rights and liberties.
The founders reinforced this belief when the Bill of Rights was adopted. The first amendment states that congress shall make no law abridging these rights and liberties. When the founders said congress shall make no law, we must remember that the Constitution grants the right to legislate only to congress, not to the executive branch nor to the judicial branch. That would mean that the government has no right to abridge.
And we are reminded that The Declaration of Independence was not adopted on a whim or for transient causes but that the colonists had suffered greatly under the despotic actions of the King and Parliament, and had taken actions to attempt to correct these abuses and usurpation's.
“Nor have we been wanting in Attentions to our British Brethren. We have warned them from Time to Time of Attempts by their Legislature to extend an unwarrantable Jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the Circumstances of our Emigration and Settlement here. We have appealed to their native Justice and Magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the Ties of our common Kindred to disavow these Usurpation's, which, would inevitably interrupt our Connections and Correspondence. They too have been deaf to the Voice of Justice and of Consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the Necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of Mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace, Friends.”
