Just Asking A Simple Question: Where Are Our Representatives Deriving Their Authority From If Not “We the People?”

The authority of governments in the United States comes from the consent of the governed, as the Declaration of Independence makes clear.

Where Are Our Representatives Deriving Their Authority From If Not the People

Liberty is the Right to do what the Law permits.Charles de Montesquieu

First, I would remind every American that our rights come from God (Read the Declaration of Independence and the Minnesota state preamble and look to Moses and the Ten Commandments above the Minnesota Supreme Court chambers) and not from the state’s generosity.

Authority is delegated and is not inherent

Secondly, those who represent “We the People” “derive their just powers from the consent of the governed.”

In other words, our representative “limited government” can do what is permitted only by the people (under God) through delegated authority, and they are to represent the people according to His Law (Exodus 20).

The people’s safety is the Law of God.James Otis Jr.

This quote is also inscribed upon the walls of the State Capitol in Minnesota.

Remember that they put their hand on the Bible, swearing to uphold the enumerated laws found within, “So help me God.”

So, I ask, where are these that are now occupying the halls of the state capital deriving their delegated authority to attack their constituents and their God-given rights?

Friends, your said representatives are acting antithetical to our rights, for the Lord never gave the right to do what He forbids or condemns!

No enactment of man can be considered law unless it conforms to the law of God.William Blackstone

What’s worse is that the “good guys” have now taken on their duties to merely highlight the crimes of those whom they refuse to impeach and prosecute (Article II, Section 4; Article I, Section 3, Clause 7 US Constitution).

Furthermore, as Daniel O’Connell rightly stated,

Nothing is politically right which is morally wrong.

A lot of this is going on today.

It is now time to lay the burden of proof on the said representatives in asking where they are deriving their authority from because one thing is certain, it is not from “We the People.”
