What is your position on the French Revolution? Do you think that was a good thing as Jefferson did?
Our founders were a fractious bunch. Jefferson's faction was definitely pro-Jacobin. He was also highly critical of traditional religion. But because he believed in a strict interpretation of the Constitution and states' rights he is excused for his irreverence.
Well, there were some supremely important things they all agreed on.
Just to name a few:
That our rights come from God, not from any man.
That the reason for being of government is to equally protect the aforesaid rights.
That those rights preceded and supersede any written document or man-made law.
That our Constitution is the expression and the instrument of the people, who are sovereign under God.
And so, the answer to the question at the top of this thread, "What If the Government Rejects the Constitution?" is, throw out the officers of government and start anew with those who will respect our rights, the sovereignty of the people, and the authority of the Constitution.
Many people don’t realize that the French Revolution was a precursor to Hitler’s ascent to power and the Russian Revolution. Read Leftism or Leftism Revisited, which shows how Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union were liberal movements that followed in the footsteps of the French Revolution. In fact, the books name the French Revolution as THE quintessential leftist event. It’s no surprise that the author of Liberal Fascism, Jonah Goldberg, listed Leftism Revisited as one of his top five conservative books.
