The fundamental problem with our governance at present is that the people of this nation as well as all those that are the representatives of that government of, for, and by the people don’t seem to understand what governance should really be about. After all, government could be about helping the unprivileged, providing a necessary infrastructure for the people, instituting a robust educational system, and so on. Whether it should be those things is, in theory, up to the people and their representatives, in conjunction with having to comply with the highest law of the land, which is its Constitution, along with all this needing to be in harmony with our unalienable rights.
There is more than one way of looking at what a government should be about, and one of those ways, which is probably the best way, is that the government of the people should make it its principal point, to do all that it can do to defend, to protect, and to augment the unalienable rights that all are equally entitled to. That is to say, our religious freedom, our freedom of speech, our right to live our life, our right to privacy, and our right to just be free to be about our business, as long as we are not interfering with other people’s unalienable rights, should be ours, subject to not only no governmental interference but rather protected by that government, above all.
Indeed, a government that is structured around protecting the unalienable rights of all would definitely be a government that would have the strongest of ethical foundations, because if on the other hand, our unalienable rights were actually subject to the government infringing upon them, then our unalienable rights, would not really be so unalienable, but rather would appear to be under the beck and call of the government, which would thereby fairly indicate that our government wasn’t about defending and protecting our unalienable rights, but rather was a power onto itself, or a power enthralled to certain personages who would be above the law, and thereupon essentially a law onto themselves.
Each of us, without exception, is meant to enjoy their unalienable rights, for these rights come to us, from that which first created us. All those that would infringe upon such, as in a government, or other entities or people within a society, are thereby violating our unalienable rights, which in a fair world, would have consequences for those so in violation. This thus signifies that the perfect government is that government which is in most accordance with our unalienable rights, and the worst government is that which clearly and consistently infringes upon those same rights, of which, the wakeup call for any government that claims to be of, for, and by the people is whether or not that government is making its highest priority the protection of our unalienable rights or whether it has other agendas, good or bad, that it addresses as a higher priority, instead.
So then, at the end of the day, just as people are judged, so are governments, and that government which is best, is that government that does all that it can to uphold our unalienable rights, and thereupon leaves what we do or don’t do with those unalienable rights as our responsibility, and not the government’s responsibility.
