[QUOTE="Brownsocks, post: 3618182, member: 68379"] I will continue to read the founders writings for answers to my questions on the scope of government. The principle framers of our constitution leave nothing to the imagination on their intent. “We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” - Jefferson “Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add ‘within the limits of the law’ because law is often but the tyrant’s will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual.” - Jefferson “The policy of the American government is to leave its citizens free, neither restraining them nor aiding them in their pursuits.” - Jefferson “That government is best which governs the least, because its people discipline themselves.” - Jefferson [I]It is to be remembered that the general government is not to be charged with the whole power of making and administering laws. Its jurisdiction is limited to certain enumerated objects. James Madison[/I], [URL='http://www.whatwouldthefoundersthink.com/federalist-no-14']Federalist #14[/URL] “The powers delegated by the proposed Constitution to the federal government are few and defined.
