The Constitution: A Restraining Document

“The Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people,
it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government
– lest it come to dominate our lives and interests.”

-Patrick Henry

  

“How a politician stands on the Second Amendment 
tells you how he or she views you as an individual; 
as a trustworthy and productive citizen, 
or as part of an unruly crowd that needs to be lorded over, 
controlled, supervised, and taken care of.”

- Dr. Suzanna Gratia Hupp

 

“Our democracy will cease to exist 
when you take away from those who are willing to work 
and give to those who would not.”

- Thomas Jefferson
