In 1803, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, John Marshall, stated, "The Constitution is either a superior, paramount law, unchangeable by ordinary means, or it is on a level with ordinary legislative acts and, like other acts, is alterable when the legislature shall please to alter it. If the former part of the alternative be true, then a legislative act contrary to the Constitution is not law; if the latter part be true, then written constitutions are absurd attempts, on the part of the people, to limit a power in its own nature illimitable." Thus, the Constitution is either The Supreme Law of the Land, superceding all other laws, or the Constitution is a worthless piece of paper. If the latter, government can do as it pleases. If the former, tyrants have seized sovereignty illegally, it is the duty of the people to put them in their proper place in history. Here, for your edification, enlightment and
enjoyment is the US Constitution and and all of its admendments. The first 10 amendments
to the Constitution are popularly known as the Bill of Rights. If you can
read written English, you can understand the Supreme Law of our Land. After you have read it, ask yourself this question:
"Has government exceeded the clear bounds of its powers?" PREAMBLE We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
