______________________________________
Our government under the Constitution is the first and only government ever founded on the ideal that political power is sovereign in the people. We do not work for or belong to the government, it works for us.
The Declaration of Independence set forth the principles of the then-new country; the Constitution puts those principles into action. The preamble to the Constitution is the "mission statement" for the document and the government. It clearly states the the purpose for which the thirteen colonies joined forces and became one nation was "to secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity."
That is still the only legitimate purpose of the federal government.
