Cicero – Political philosopher in Rome (106-43 BC)
   Definition – Natural Law deals with absolute reality. “True law is…
   unchanging and everlasting; it summons to duty by its commands,
   and averts from wrongdoing by its prohibitions…it is impossible to
   abolish it entirely.”

Man cannot own anything but man can be owned by anything. The one who
sets ownership of something as his ultimate goal will inevitably become
consumed by that which he seeks to consume. – Author Unknown
The WHAT that our Declaration of
     Independence Declared
We Declared…A Nation of Laws
• Our laws are based on Natural Law and Laws of Human Nature.

“…upon these two foundations, the law of nature and the law of
revelation, depend all human laws…” – William Blackstone (Author and
legal scholar)
“…No man will contend that a nation can be free that is not governed
by fixed laws. All other government than that of permanent known laws
is the government of mere will and pleasure.” (John Adams, American
Founder)
“The end of law is not to abolish or restrain, but to preserve and
enlarge freedom. For in all the states of created beings, capable of
laws, where there is no law there is no freedom.” (John Locke, English
political philosopher, author)

  1. Jefferson railed against King George III for creating and sustaining the slave trade, describing it as "a cruel war against human nature." Congress was prohibited until 1808 from blocking the migration and importation "of such Persons as any of the states now existing shall think proper to admit" (Art. I, Sec. 9). Although protection of the slave trade was a major concession demanded by pro-slavery delegates, the final clause was only a temporary exemption from a recognized federal power for the existing states. Moreover, it did not prevent states from restricting or outlawing the slave trade, which many had already done. "If there was no other lovely feature in the Constitution but this one," James Wilson observed, "it would diffuse a beauty over its whole countenance. Yet the lapse of a few years, and Congress will have power to exterminate slavery from within our borders." Congress passed such a national prohibition effective January 1, 1808, and President Jefferson signed it into law.

  15. The Truth of the Matter - The MATTER does not matter. The RESULTS of the matter do not matter. All that matters is WHO’S DOING it, SAYING it, INVOLVED in the matter. Why? You have no time for anything... POLL THE ROOM - How many times have you been texted/looked down at your phone since we started this session? What is the problem with interest in civic literacy? It’s not that it’s not interesting. It’s that, as a general rule, we don’t understand we have a role and what that role is. We’re uninspired. Because we don’t understand the system. The dynamics of the team we are on. We believe that WHO is doing “it” (government) are our elected representatives. We believe our work ends at the voter booth, not that it begins there. And it’s because we don’t understand the system and our position on the team.

  20. Who represents us in the government? COMMON ANSWER: Our elected representatives? The question was incorrect. Real question is “Who represents the government?” ANSWER: We the People represent the government. Our elected representatives represent us in the government affairs and whatever they do, in total, WE are responsible for. It’s not THEIR reputation on the line, it’s OURS. Who is the President? COMMON ANSWER: Obama The question was incorrect. Real question is “Is there a President of the United States?” ANSWER: YES and NO. The role given by the Const does not match what the title infers. In order for such to be true, he would have to preside directly over the indep. states united. He does not.
