The Natural Rights of Americans – Part One

Rights were not created by an individual, or group of individuals, nor were they created by a legislature, a President, or a Supreme Court. Rights were conceived by Nature’s Creator, and among them is life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. These ideals provide an individual with the power and authority to determine his or her own fate. These ideals, first placed within the Declaration of Independence, were at the very heart of what the Founders knew about the American People – that they had the ability and determination to govern themselves.

Written at a time when the world’s governments were either a monarchy, a dictatorship, or controlled by a warlord, the world’s population were dominated by authoritarians of one form or another. The Declaration of Independence established that an individual need not be coerced into a life led by a corrupt individual or individuals, lured into decadence and debauchery for fortune and power and now seek to disarm the People of their Right to Keep and Bear Arms, so they may continue to dispel the moral and political standing of the People. Why? To establish an authoritarian state controlled by corrupt financial and political elite.On Lexington Green, British citizens stood against the British army, a force that was sent by the British government. They brought an army down upon their own People in an attempt to deprive them of their Natural Rights. They believed that power derived from the politician and the bureaucrat, not Nature’s Creator, just as the corrupt financial and political elite do today. In order to ensure the preservation of a free People, a government of the People, the Right to Keep and Bear Arms must not be infringed. If so, decadence and debauchery, an intense hunger for power – authoritarianism, will rule across America once more.
