During the Coronavirus Crisis, Our Constitutional Rights Are as Important as Ever

 

How much thought does the average American put into their rights on a daily basis?

Perhaps not much, but that is all about to change. For generations the Supreme Court has called protection of the individual’s rights the bedrock of American principles. Those who ratified our Bill of Rights knew how vital these rights were to the very preservation of all liberty.

Among these rights are those that our founders would formally declare absolutely essential to life itself: freedoms of religion, speech, press and assembly; the individual right to keep and bear arms; the right of security of personal property; and the indispensable rights of due process…..

The mantra that “the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few — or the one” is a Marxist principle, not just a line from Star Trek dialogue. This ideology is not what America was founded upon. Quite the opposite: Our governments, since the foundation of our states in 1776, are based upon the fundamental principle that the sole purpose of government is to secure the rights of the individual, not to appease the collective.

On the contrary, it is wholly selfish for the community to demand that the force of government deprive individual rights because there are a few who refuse to act responsibly in securing their own health and welfare. Mass curfews and quarantines are not the American way; they are the communist way. The American way says that we do not use force to compensate for the irresponsibility of the few.
