is this Liberty? or is it death?
What kind of life did the Framers Envision for themselves and future Americans?
The Framers of the Constitution raised a Standard of Liberty that they envisioned would be safeguarded by “We the People.”

Since 1776.
In order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, 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.

the life the framers dreamed possible
The Framers of the Constituion conceived of a popular soverignty. Jefferson expresses it in the Declaration of Independence, “Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed…” which is then codified by the Constitution.

Let us raise a standard to which the wise and honest can repair . . .

Government degenerates when trusted to the rulers of the people alone. The people themselves are its only safe depositories.
Notes on Virginia, 1789
john adams
Liberty must at all hazards be supported. We have a right to it, derived from our Maker. But if we had not, our fathers have earned and bought it for us, at the expense of their ease, their estates, their pleasure, and their blood.
Boston Gazette, October 14, 1765
Shared passion of the constitution party
The Framers established a standard of liberty that we have inherited, and it is the duty of their posterity, the citizens of the Republic – that’s us today – to preserve it.
The “Intent” of the Framers was to create a land of peace, prosperity, and liberty for everyone who shares that vision.
They created something that had never happened in the world before their time. They drew ideas from the works of thinkers, philosophers, and religious leaders of past eras, as well as those of their own time.
They molded these ideas into a structure that has stood the test of time and has become a global model still sought after in the 21st Century.

we are like you.
we are the people.
we are the inheritors of the framers’ dream.
we are the
constitution party.
Our mission is to secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity through the election of Constitution Party candidates, at all levels of government, who will uphold the principles of the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution of the United States, and the Bill of Rights.
It is our goal to limit the federal government to its delegated, enumerated, Constitutional function.
