Mike Farris:
Americans have lost many of their original liberties and freedoms for which our ancestors shed their blood.

The United States Constitution is the binding set of rules which should control the government created by the Founders. Let’s take a brief look at the preamble of the Constitution. A key phrase is found in the promise: “To secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity.”

When the government moves away from adhering to the Constitution, there are serious repercussions—and not just for ourselves, but for the generations to follow. For instance, in my new DVD series entitled Constitutional Literacy, I explore the constitutionality of our current national debt. A 2010 report by the Congressional Research Service, states that, “The current consensus among economists is that the burden of the national debt is largely shifted forward to future generations.” Instead of securing the blessings of liberty to our posterity, we are, instead, enslaving them.

When government acts and works and rules outside of the Constitution, we are no longer a nation under the rule of law. Instead, we become a nation ruled by the whims of men. That is exactly the opposite of what the Founders intended, and we are no longer securing freedom for ourselves—or our posterity.
