Two Types of Power: Concentrated & Separated
When power is separated, the individual is supreme.
America’s founders wanted to maximize the individual. It is
an inverse relationship. The more power is concentrated in
government - the less freedom and opportunity is experienced by
the individual.
All forms of government are on a sliding scale between
maximum individual liberty on one end and maximum State control
on the other, called “tyranny.” One end of the spectrum holds the
individual supreme and the other end holds the State supreme.
President Dwight Eisenhower addressed the American Legion’s
Back-to-God Program, February 20, 1955:
20
The Founding Fathers expressed the ideal
of Government based on the individual. That ideal
previously had existed only in the hearts and minds
of men...They recogniz[ed] God as the author of
individual rights.
The most efficient form of government is a monarchy
- one person says it, it happens, or heads roll. America’s
founders created an inefficient government on purpose -
frustratingly slow at times to making good decisions; but
thankfully slow to making irreversible bad decisions.
With absolute power in the hands of monarchs, society
operates according to the patronage system: if one is friends with
the king, they are more equal; if they are not friends with the king,
they are less equal; and if they are an enemy of the king, they are dead
– it’s called treason. Franklin Roosevelt referred to this, June 27, 1936:
In 1776, we sought freedom from the tyranny
of a political autocracy – from the 18th century
royalists who held special privileges from the crown.
Ronald Reagan stated in 1973:
The classical Liberal, during the
Revolutionary time...did not believe those rights
