The American Constitution was built to limit government, not empower it. Its purpose isn’t to grant you freedoms — it’s to restrain the government from infringing on freedoms you already possess as a human being. That’s not some theory — that’s the core legal and historical framework the founders laid out in 1787 and reinforced with the Bill of Rights.
And guess what?
Right now, far too many citizens don’t understand how that relationship actually works. They think rights are “granted” by statutes, permits, licenses, and government permission slips. That’s backwards.
