Benjamin T Brixey                    "A Libertarian perspective"

State Rights, Federalism, and Constitutionalism!

State Rights- The individual States of the United States are supreme to the Federal government.
  • The 10th Amendment of the Bill of Rights clearly describes the sovereignty of 50 State Governments.
  • We are a nation that is currently in a compact, which means that States have voluntarily submitted to the Federal Government.
  • The 50 States can leave voluntarily, and retain their sovereign powers.
  • Returning to this will force the Federal government to keep its reputation in mind, and intact.

Federalism- The Federal Government should be considered the General government.
  • The General government should maintain a strong National Defense,
  • Large enough to maintain peace through strength.
  • Through Treaties, and international trade deals.

Constitutionalism- The belief that the law should be written down.
  • The Law is clear, and concise on a piece of paper.
  • The Law can not be as easily twisted by lawyers, and judges.
  • This allows the common person to read, and interpret the Constitution for themselves.
  • The opposite of the British Constitution, which is called a living Constitution.
  • This is our America tradition, and it has been mimicked all over the globe.


A Foreign Policy for Peace: for Marque and Reprisal!

The War on Terror- is real, and we must address this war differently.
  • We must first acknowledge that our contemporary military strategy has been a failure.
  • We must admit contemporary warfare has changed, therefore we need to change our tactics.
  • It has changed due to fact Nation-States are not the enemy, but gorilla units.
  • The United States should not use torture during war, due to the mercy of American values.
Marque and Reprisal- The best historic option.
  • It is a Constitutional remedy, and has been used historically against privateers, who were attacking trade.
  • It specifically is a bounty on the head of leaders running terrorist organizations.
  • The bounty will give an incentive for other regional governments to fight the War on Terror.
  • This will replace frivolous foreign aid, or in other words "bribery."
  • It will keep our troops out of harms way, and it is a significantly cheaper.


We Must Defend the Entire Bill of Rights!

The 1st Amendment- The freedom of speech is one of our most precious freedoms. This amendment also guarantees the freedom to peacefully assemble, and the ability to petition the government freely.
  • The Chilling Effect also must be resisted. Ending the domestic spying of NSA is the first step.
  • The Chilling Effect is any government program, statement, or propaganda campaign that alters society's conscious.
  • Often by silencing the persons that are in opposed to the government function. Ex: Tea Party, and the IRS.

The 2nd Amendment- Clearly, the right to bear arms shall not be infringed, and this definition does not just pertain to a militia. Arms are necessary for our personal, and national security.
  • Violent criminals should be deprived the right to buy a gun.
  • There should never be a list created of conceal carry person, or gun owners.
  • If you pass a background check, then you ought to be able to buy a gun.

The 4th Amendment- The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures; Is without a doubt the most battle weary amendment.
  • The right to privacy absolutely extends to the internet, and contemporary technology.
  • Eminent Domain should be reversed at every level of government, and in every form.
  • We need to end the War on Drugs, due to excessive abuses of the 4th Amendment.

The 5th Amendment- These words give us the vital right to due process, disallows double jeopardy, guarantees us grand juries outside of the military, and we can choose not to be a witness against ourselves. 
  • Due process more thoroughly defined; solidifies that a person's property, life, or freedom can not be taken away, without probable cause and representation in court.
  • This amendment is part of the British tradition. Stemming from the Glorious Revolution in 1688, and the English Bill of Rights crafted in 1689.

The 6th Amendment- The right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the state and district wherein the crime was committed.
  • We are guaranteed the right to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation.
  • We are guaranteed the right to have witnesses in our favor.
  • We are provided a lawyer in contemporary times.

The 7th Amendment- In lawsuits pertaining to common law, the right of trial by jury shall be preserved, and no fact tried by a jury, shall be otherwise reexamined in any court of the United States.
  • This right empowers the jury, our peers, to be our ultimate judge. 

The 8th Amendment- Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.
  • It is important to keep our morality when we punish people with the law.
  • The United States should not use torture during war, due to the mercy of American values.

The 9th Amendment- The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.
  • This amendment is describing how the Constitution is confined by the written language, our U.S. tradition.
  • The General government has specific powers, and functions.
  • The remaining freedoms are left to the people, in order to create institutions as they wish.

The 10th Amendment- The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.
  • This is our cornerstone of Republicanism, Federalism, and Constitutionalism.
  • This gives the States the ultimate authority, and all powers not in the Constitution are left to the States.
  • The United States should return to a peaceful union of 50 diverse States all supporting each other through defense, trade, travel, and friendship.
  • E pluribus unum- "Out of many, one"
