It is a common misconception... [View all]
...that laws are meant to control the common people and limit aberrant behavior. Laws are the standards by which the justice system, without malice or prejudice, convicts those whose behavior is harmfully, anti-social.
Laws that control people are themselves anti-social in that they work, not to enlighten nor to protect the peoples' freedoms, to advance a type of limited slavery. We have protection from prior restraint. Would not the same principle apply to many basic freedoms?
From Noah Webster, linguist:
(During 1787) The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any band of regular troops.
From his cousin Daniel Webster, Senator and Secretary of State:
Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority
the Constitution was made to guard against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters.
