The principles and philosophy put forth in the US constituted where born in Europe. These philosophies rejected the “King’s Divine Right to Govern.” <br /><br /> The turning point against the “King’s Divine Right to Govern.” began when individuals (merchants) began to accumulate wealth independent from the crown. With wealth independent from the crown individual merchants began to acquire power independent from the crown. Individual merchants soon realized that in associations they had more power. This movement eventually grew to the house of commons in the British government.Buffalohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03312671067175607728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2880395975726287759.post-14259502804538733332011-07-08T17:35:45.178-05:002011-07-08T17:35:45.178-05:00Anon, not sure what libertarian party you're r...Anon, not sure what libertarian party you're referring to but it sure isn't mine. My Libertarian party wants the constitution to be alive and well and followed as intended, including its limits on government power. Don't know where you get your info on the Libertarian position on civil rights, but it sounds like it's a democrat or republican site. Definitely not Libertarian.Jim Turnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03413663900509725906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2880395975726287759.post-45579588148019686152011-07-04T03:33:41.407-05:002011-07-04T03:33:41.407-05:00The Republicans sure have done their best to kill ...The Republicans sure have done their best to kill the constitution. Reagan with his zero tolerance policy toward American citizens. G W Bush with the “patriot act.” And now the Libertarians want to rewrite history in their own misguided simplistic image and do away with 200 hundred years of legal interpretations and declare the civil rights act of 1964 applies only to federal government employees. Yes the Libertarians want the constitution to be dead.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2880395975726287759.post-8147123728304692902011-06-27T07:23:14.531-05:002011-06-27T07:23:14.531-05:00Wonderfully said, sadly every "government pro...Wonderfully said, sadly every "government professor" I had in college believed and taught this erroneous idea...The "living document" theory.
