George Washington our first President of the United States of America              

Looking at George Washington’s two terms as President wraps up our series on his extremely interesting story and contribution to us all. Particularly his role in forming a government with three separate and co-equal branches of government. He and the other founders held very definite views on what would happen if we allowed future leaders to distort our three branches of government.

An elective despotism was not the government we fought for, but one which should not only be founded on true free principles, but in which the powers of government should be so divided and balanced among general bodies of magistracy, as that no one could transcend their legal limits without being effectually checked and restrained by the others. —       Thomas Jefferson

The people, as sovereign, retain ultimate rights to interpret, enforce, amend, and abolish the Constitution. We are not bound by unconstitutional edicts from state or federal governments.   The basis of our political system is the right of the people to make and to alter their constitutions of government. — George Washington

 

Why did our Founding Fathers design a government divided into three separate but Co – Equal Branches of Government? 

Why did our Founding Fathers design our particular type of Constitution and later introduce amendments now known as “The Bill of Rights?”

[T]he opinion which gives to the judges the right to decide what laws are constitutional and what not, not only for themselves, in their own sphere of action, but for the Legislature and Executive also in their spheres, would make the Judiciary a despotic branch. — Thomas Jefferson

Whensoever the General Government assumes undelegated powers, its acts are unauthoritative, void, and of no force. — Thomas Jefferson

We are going to answer these questions and will look at where we are today relative to these two questions. There are reasons our leaders decided to change our original systems design and none of them have anything to do with “We the People”.

There are reasons our leaders employed unlawful methods to completely eliminate our Constitution and the Three Branches of Government in one bold stroke. The founders gave us the means to redesign our government anytime we decided to do so. It is the same method they used to insert our Bill of Rights into the Constitution – the amendment process. 

The amendment process was intentionally arduous by design to prevent politicians from using fear or emotions to make changes for their own purposes. We really need to understand the exact changes made to our original systems design by means other than amending the constitution. 

 

Our leaders’ utilized approaches early on that they knew would begin to bend our three branches of Government. Approaches that over time our leaders also knew would break our three branches of Government into unrecognizable pieces. While at the same time insisting they are upholding their sworn oath to uphold the Constitution.

We are all going to fully understand our original system of government and how we have allowed our representatives in all three branches to slowly remake America. Make no mistake about this they are not finished with this remaking of America – not at all. In fact unless we stop them they will simply continue remaking America until one day you’ll wake up in another America all together.

7th Provides for the right to trial by jury in certain civil cases, according to common law

 8th Prohibits excessive fines and excessive bail, as well as cruel and unusual punishment

9th Protects rights not enumerated in the constitution - See more at:
