I am shocked I don't see any discussion of Constitution Day on the Great Awakening!
On September 17, 1787, one of the most important documents in human history was written and signed: the Constitution for the united States of America.
It ain't perfect, but it is the best anyone has come up with, yet.
The problem we have today is not with the Constitution, but with government employees (public servants) who abuse their authority and do not uphold their oath of office to follow it.
It is up to ALL OF US to hold our government employees accountable to their oath, and that document.
Recently, I had a speeding ticket dismissed in court due to the fact that I could show they they were not providing me due process, which is a constitutional right. They never follow due process in traffic "court," so the tickets are easy to get dismissed, if you understand what they are supposed to do, according to the Constitution, versus what they do in practice.
I believe that MOST government lawsuits and criminal charges fall under this general principle, as well.
It is up to US.
Thomas Jefferson wrote:
In questions of power, let no more be heard of confidence in man, but bind him down from mischief by the chains of the Constitution.
THIS should be a national holiday! Something everyone can celebrate! Thanks for the reminder Fren!
