Our nation’s founding documents – the Declaration of Independence, The US Constitution, and the Bill of Rights – were written to specify and enshrine the basic principles under which our nation was to be governed. Those documents refer clearly to inalienable “laws of nature and nature’s law” which we simplify as Natural Law Rights. By definition, Natural Law Rights belong to each individual as a birthright from an almighty God in whose existence our founders believed. In our Constitutional Republic, the rights of every single individual are protected from the whims of majority rule, which is the failure of “democracy” as a governing system. If you accept that concept, you should also understand that the “laws” created by government are merely “rules”. Furthermore, government-created “rights” are not inalienable and can be altered and eliminated as required by the expediency of politics. This distinction was clear in our founders’ minds as it should also be in ours.

Well Mr. Franklin, we kept the Republic for about 100 years. After that it's been a long slippery slope of government over reach.
