It’s a long word, and a bit difficult so spell without SpellCheck, but it’s a word with which you really should get comfortable.
- Constitutionalists believe that the government’s authority comes from the people.
- They support the idea that a constitution should clearly define what the government can and cannot do.
It’s a word than sums up, I think, all of the new, and improved cabinet members chosen, and confirmed for President Donald J. Trump. Each of them, by and large, during their nomination hearings, stated that they will strive to get the country back to following the “rule of law”, to upholding, and defending the Constitution of the United States of America, and being “transparent” to the citizens of the US, in doing so.
If you haven’t read it recently, or ever, our Constitution of the United States of America, stop reading this, and do it. Google it. It’s the one that starts out “We the people”. It is an amazing piece of work. It gives the groundwork for the aforementioned rule of law that governs all citizens of the US. Here’s how it starts:
“We the People of the United States, 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.”
It shows us the division of powers to the 3 branches of government, and of what those powers consist, which branch leads the government, which one upholds, and can change laws as needed, while the third decides how, and where to spend the money.
It shows how Congress is formed, how often different congressmen are elected, and what are their responsibilities.
It even goes as far as to say, well, it says a lot. So, take a few minutes, read it, and know that most of the incoming cabinet has read it, and knows how they will go about holding the government to the high standards set about in our Constitution.
Until next time, stay happy, and healthy.
