It's Constitutional Watson Part 2
Hey Y'all. I decided to make "It's Constitutional Watson" a short series. It's important, and everyone needs to know or be reminded of what's in it. By the way, I found 4 pocket size constitutions (I used to have more), and I'll be glad to mail them to the first 4 people that email (see the bottom) me requesting it with your address.
Article 4 Section 4 says: "The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence." I started with this one first because of what is going on in our country. Consider the crisis at the southern border and riots that have taken place in recent years. First notice that the clause begins with guaranteeing a "republican form of government." It doesn't say "democratic." This clause prevents changing our government to a full democracy, eliminating the electoral college, and going to a popular vote. Our country's founders were smart cookies. When certain states were allowing riots, then it was okay for the federal government to intervene and stop it. That's the wonderful tension between the states and feds- if the feds violate the constitution, the states nullify and say no; if the states don't follow it, the feds intervene. The millions being allowed to cross the southern border is an invasion folks! The very people (federal government) that's supposed protect that is allowing it. But we just keep whining about it in various ways and don't try to do anything about. It's helping destroy our country.
The First Amendment says: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances." There's 5 parts to this first and important amendment: Freedom of Religion, Freedom of Speech, Freedom of the Press, Freedom of Assembly, Freedom to Petition the Government. There won't enough space to look at all of them this week. The Religion clause prevents the government from establishing a religion (i.e. Catholic, Anglican, Lutheran, Methodist, Baptist, etc.), as well as protect citizens rights to the free exercise of religion. Interestingly, the founders intended "Christian" religions. It's likely too late to change what it has come to mean (world religions). What is known as "separation of church and state" was a clarification by letter from Thomas Jefferson to the Danbury Baptists that the federal government was to stay out of the church's business. Not all the nonsense in recent years of not allowing Christianity in schools and on public property, etc.
Lord willing, we'll start looking at the other 4 parts next week. There is a lot going on. Please following me on Facebook, Twitter, Rumble, and my Blog that includes my weekly Gimme 5 Video Shorts. I'm just a guy that loves the Lord, his family, his country, and people. I'll be glad to meet you somewhere to talk, and you can find me most Sundays and Wednesdays at Calvary Baptist Church in Vernon. Remember to pray, plan and prepare both physically, and eternally in Christ, and [be] politically proactive. God bless you!
