Constitutional Statement

The U.S. Constitution’s three main principles of inherent rights, government by the people, and separation of powers provided the basis for the freest and most prosperous nation in history. Just imagine two centuries ago the new ideas of a nation created to ensure a person’s right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness as written in the Declaration of Independence, a nation governed by the people, a nation with watchdog checks and balances on political and bureaucratic powers.

The delegates of the Constitutional Convention in 1787 also gave careful consideration to the division of power between the federal government and state governments. The U.S. Constitution, which emerged from the Constitutional Convention in 1787, is called the supreme law because the state constitutions and both federal and state laws cannot violate the U.S. Constitution.

The U.S. Constitution does a nearly perfect job setting down the principles and system of government. Things went wrong because of continual misinterpretation of the Constitution over generations, which led to repeated violations of the Constitution. What was missing was an overarching constitution, so to speak, the prime law of no initiatory force. What was missing now exists in the Constitution of the Twelve Visions Party.

Had the Constitution of the Twelve Visions Party existed since the beginning, our country would have entered the wealthy/healthy/safe Twelve-Visions World generations ago.

If the Constitution of the Twelve Visions Party eventually becomes an Amendment to the U.S. Constitution — the Individual Rights Amendment — we could again have confidence in the U.S. Constitution and the state constitutions, for they brilliantly set down the system of government and separation of powers, starting with the three main powers of 1) making laws, 2) executing laws, and 3) interpreting laws.

There would be, however, a fundamental change with the Individual Rights Amendment: The whole concept of a government based on power — separation of powers, division of powers, checks and balances of powers — would change from a government based on power to a government based on service. That fundamental change from a power basis to a service basis would evolve a businesslike system — a businesslike protection service — as detailed in Twelve Visions.

Let us take a closer look at what the Individual Rights Amendment would accomplish. First, as you know from the National Platform, over the past century, our government existed for two purposes:

1) To protect the people

2) To promote the social good

To promote the general welfare of the people has been misinterpreted to mean: increase their standard of living or their wealth. Well, we learned in the National Platform that career politicians cannot do that; the government cannot and should not exist to enhance social well-being, not beyond physical protection, which includes justice and proper lawmaking, both criminal and civil. Indeed, our politicians spend our money to ostensibly ‘promote’ the social good, but they really want the glory and power and ‘importance’ that goes with spending money. They do not want anything to do with the effort, though, that goes with soundly spending money. Their misinterpretation of the U.S. Constitution has led to blatant violations of the Constitution, which could never occur with the Prime Law in place.

So, as you witnessed in the National Platform, career politicians have made a mess of things. Our well-being, standard of living, and wealth can be dramatically lifted by unhampered market businessmen and women…by the geniuses of society. But the erroneous second purpose of government must end.

That bogus purpose of government to so-call “promote the social good” sprang up over the years through career politicians finding ways to spend money and become more and more likable for re-election. (See the James J. Hill story in the National Platform.) They got their spending money through tax collection backed by force. The Individual Rights Amendment gets rid of all that, forever.

The one valid purpose for our government, as you know, is to protect the people from initiatory force, which includes providing justice. The only way to guarantee the protection of all people — equal, unbiased and unconditional protection of all people of all races and all social classes and all career positions in society — is to protect the individual. Regardless of race or social status, individual rights guarantees everyone his or her unprejudiced rights as an individual, as a minority of one — the smallest of all minorities. Every individual is equally and fully protected.

Now, to provide comprehensive protection of the individual requires going down to and establishing the biologically irreducible fundamental of protection. As an analogy, to capture the comprehensive nature of the cosmos requires going down to and understanding the irreducible, fundamental sub-atomic particles composing the cosmos. The irreducible, thus indivisible, incorruptible fundamental of protection is: elimination of initiatory force, which is the function of the Individual Rights Amendment. And that is why I refer to the Constitution of the Twelve Visions Party as non-amendable. There is nothing deeper upon which to establish an amendment, and anything less is already taken care of or overridden by this fundamental. This constitution says it all. There is nothing more.

Indeed, comprehensive protection of the individual demands one prime law — one overarching, irreducible law: the elimination of all initiatory force against the individual and his property. With that one prime law, everyone becomes protected from intentional harm caused by man, including harm from government.

Therefore, with the passing of the Individual Rights Amendment, the erroneous purpose of government and its destructive ruling class can never return. Prosperity will soar forever as described in the National Platform. What great news! Indeed, one prime law was always needed; one prime law eternally guarantees protection and freedom. That one Prime Law is the Constitution of the Twelve Visions Party. That one Prime Law could bring about the Twelve-Visions World (described in the National Platform) if that Prime Law were to ever become an amendment to the U.S. Constitution, the Individual Rights Amendment.

With that one Prime Law in place, it essentially becomes our Supreme Law to which every law must answer. For, the Supreme Law will filter out every law and regulation in violation, namely those that serve the bogus purpose of so-called promoting the social good, which requires initiatory force. The Prime Law is the biological fundamental, the point of origin, the beginning of all law. Therefore, no further unhealthy law or misinterpretation of the U.S. Constitution could occur. No more violations could happen. Government could not tell us how to spend our money or force us to pay taxes. As long as we did not commit initiatory force, we would be completely free. We would not need ego-and-power-driven lawmakers stirring up legislation with lawyers and bureaucrats using those laws to drain us. We would no longer need that parasitical ruling class that destroyed our prosperity. Their deceptions could no longer pass through the Individual Rights Amendment — including their forced taxes.

Our government would cease to be a parasitical ruling class as we switched over to my Protection-Only Budget described in the National Platform that ends the funds for the bogus second purpose of government — to so-call promote the social good. The Protection-Only Budget supplies funds to the one proper purpose of government — to protect the country and its citizens from initiatory force, which includes the proper protection-based lawmaking and system of justice.

Now, let me ask America, what guarantees our government could never again grow a ruling class? Government can grow a ruling class only through force — pay your taxes or go to prison. With the passing of the Individual Rights Amendment, not even the government could use initiatory force and, therefore, would forever cease to be a ruling class. Instead, with the passing of the Individual Rights Amendment, the government would function as a protection service you voluntarily pay for. Twelve Visions explains exactly how that would happen.

Gone would be the days of bogus and destructive government, so-called promoting the social good. Market businessmen — the geniuses of society — would successfully take over that job as shown in the National Platform. Then, our new government would forever provide the one specific value of protection, which its citizens — its customers — would voluntarily pay for.

Realize, my Protection-Only Budget would not be enough to permanently end the ruling class. The government could regress into a corrupt ruling class again eventually if government could use initiatory force against its citizens with a force-backed IRS. In short, that ugly rise of the ruling class is what happened to our original, beautiful U.S. Government idea meant to exist for protection only. The Constitution of the Twelve Visions Party and potential Individual Rights Amendment would forever stop the ruling class from happening again. Indeed, the Individual Rights Amendment pulls out the roots of the ruling class — initiatory force, which includes forced taxes.

Without forced tax collection, government power is not a ruling power. Instead, it is an earned power, earned from ever-looming, potential competition. Our Twelve-Visions Government is nonthreatening to its citizens — to its customers — and is incorruptible.

With initiatory force permanently out of the equation of government due to the Individual Rights Amendment, the government can hold no ruling power and can never hold ruling power over you whatsoever. For the first time, you will be truly free.

The Twelve-Visions Government will eventually evolve into a reputable business providing the immense values of protection — peace and safety — values citizens will gladly choose to pay for. If you were unhappy with the protection service, you could withdraw and not pay…and not be a criminal. If enough people did that, a competitive service would rise to guarantee protection — better protection. Those free-market dynamics would force tomorrow’s government to provide honest and satisfactory value to you. Those free-market dynamics would guarantee your best protection, including national defense and local police protection as demonstrated in Twelve Visions.

With the prime law in place via the Individual Rights Amendment, the prosperity-explosion described in the National Platform would never end. Think about the potential wealth, happiness, love, and health described in the National Platform. We would soon live the wealthy, healthy, and safe life we were meant to live.
