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.
