Quantcast

What Do you think Thomas Jefferson would think of the House & Senate taking liberties to change the Constitution & restricted the rights of select groups of American Citzens?

When,
in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to
dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and
to assume among the powers of the earth the separate and equal station to
which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them, a decent
respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the
causes which impel them to the separation. We hold these truths to be
self-evident; that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by
their creator with certain inalienable rights; that among these are life,
liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; that to secure these rights,
governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the
consent of the governed; that whenever any form of government becomes
destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or
abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such
principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem
most likely to effect their safety and happiness.
-Thomas
Jefferson

I would
rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much liberty than to
those attending too small a degree of it.

    What House and Senate efforts? What group is being singled out? Who is more offensive, Congress, the Supreme Court, or His Majesty, Obama?

    It depends upon the type of situation. The .Constitution itself provides a method by which to change it. Your quote by the way is of the Declaration of Independence not The Constitution.
