"This is going to come as a shock to many... but here in the U.S.A we
live in a federal, constitutional, limited republic... not a
democracy... where the people as individuals... not society... hold ALL
rights and powers which may exist, (some of which are delegated to the
government) and which may only be restricted in very limited ways, as
specifically enumerated in our constitution.
Neither the government, nor society, have any legitimate rights or powers which are not delegated by individuals, nor are they or those rights superior to individuals and individual rights.
Neither the government, nor society, have any legitimate rights or powers which are not delegated by individuals, nor are they or those rights superior to individuals and individual rights.
They are derived from the rights of individuals, thus they can only be equal to the rights of individuals.
So, if you start saying " the government allows us ...... " or "the government can't allow" or "society can't allow", or even "we can't allow", as regards another individuals exercise of their rights... You're almost automatically wrong.
"Allow" doesn't come in to it.
This is not a country where specific legislation is required to make things legal... Everything is legal unless it is legitimately restricted.
Individuals do not need permission to do anything whatsoever; from you, from the government, from society, from ANYONE... So long as they are not violating laws derived from legitimate constitutional authority, or violating or otherwise impinging on the rights of others.
You might note... at no point does that grant "the majority" or "society" ANY power or control whatsoever.
The fact that collectives have arrogated such power to themselves, or believe they have (or should have) such power, does not make it legitimate, nor does it change the rights of individuals, or the basis for our nation,"
Thanks to Chris Byrne for putting this so clearly
