An excellent resource for all Citizens. This should be added to Freerepublic's resource links. All those individuals professing to be "Conservatives" should have a basic understanding of Natural Law and it's importance to the founding of our republic.

This following essay explores the sources and foundations of American law. The thesis of this essay is that the essential American legal principles of equality, rights and government by consent, are derived from the laws of God, articulated in the Declaration of Independence under the general appellation of the Laws of Nature and of Natures God, and incorporated into the various state constitutions and the federal Constitution. This essay briefly surveys the laws of nature and of natures God as that law was first expressed in Creation and then verbalized in the Declarations text and the Constitutions clauses.

Basic understanding and compliance with Natural Law, the Law of Reason, is essential to personal and national happiness.
Nations find themselves in lots of trouble and misery when they wallow in violation of Natural Law.

To: Godebert
There is a part of human existence which necessarily remains individual and independent, and which by right is beyond all social or legislative competence. Societys authority, and thus that of legislation, exists only to a relative and limited extent. At the point where the independence of individual existence begins, the authority of legislation stops. If legislation crosses this line, it usurps.
Individual rights are a part of human existence which should remain independent of legislation. They are rights which legislation should never touch, rights over which society has no jurisdiction, rights which it cannot invade without making itself as guilty of tyranny as the despot who has no other title to authority than a deadly sword. The governments legitimacy depends on its purpose as much as on its source. When this authority is extended over purposes which are outside its sphere, it becomes illegitimate.
