Majority and George Washington

Yes, George Washington did considered the will of the "majority" as an imperative to government and it is...
1) BUT add: the enemy was George III with his minions of administration, not Great Britain per se, with many of the members of Parliament who opposed the King.  One of which was removed from his office in Parliament by George III who declared him treasonous against GB, because of his support: This man said: “I am one man, I cannot do everything, but I can do what I can do; and I shall do what I can do.” ....and did! His Name: Edmund Burke.

2) There was no word “socialism1”.  Look at www.1828.mshaffer.com. The closest to the word is “Democracy” which is an expression of the “majority”: “n. [Gr. People, and to possess, to govern.] Government by the people; a form of government, in which the supreme power is lodged in the hands of the people collectively, or in which the people exercise the powers of legislation. Such was the government of Athens. BUT

When you add the definition of “society” to arrive at the other description of ‘content and majority comprising..’ you get: “1. The union of a number of rational beings; or a number of persons united, either for a temporary or  permanent purpose. Thus the inhabitants of a state or of a city constitute a society, having common interests; and hence it is called a community. In a more enlarged sense, the whole race or family of man is a society, and called human society. The true and natural foundation of society, are the wants and fears of individuals. 2. Any number of persons associated for a particular purpose, whether incorporated by law, or only united by articles of agreement; a fraternity. Thus we have bible societies for various objects; societies for mechanics, and leaned societies; societies for encouraging arts, &c.”.

Note Well in relation to the definition and purpose of choosing “a Congress” in US Constitution-Article One: Both words “Democracy”  and “Society”  define  group as “collective” with society for purpose in a community versus “true and natural foundation” as “wants and fears of individuals” with “ANY number of persons associated”. SPECIFICALLY: “to concert measures for their common good, or to adjust their mutual concerns.” AND from “The Declaration of Constitutional Principles”2 : The individual component of the polity is the person, which is defined as any being consisting of or having the essential cognitive attributes (rational beings) of a member of the species homo sapiens, including both the capacity to compete with others for the means to exercise the natural rights (wants and fears) of life, liberty, and the Pursuit of happiness, AND the capacity to regulate its competitive actions to avoid depriving others of those rights (The Bible, the history of mankind as good and evil in community,  and The Declaration as 27 Abuses of George III) and to sacrifice itself for the greater good of the polity as a whole (true and natural foundation of society..individuals) or for their common posterity (family3).”.

Our “Indispensable” reason This Nation exists at all, Mr. Washington did not consider, in his period of history, the road “socialism” would take. Every word he did consider was the people as individuals in the whole with God integral to all this Nation is or ever will be. That the “people” control its destiny and that destiny is integral to God’s Law as applied in The Constitution of the United States of America. For every founder writing the Constitution, including “Federalist” Hamilton, knew the Lord God was Truth - Life - Liberty  - Pursuit in obedience and accountability of “Person” to God.

3. “The Hand of providence has been so conspicuous in all this, that he must be worse than an infidel that lacks faith, and more than wicked, that has not gratitude enough to acknowledge his obligations. (George Washington, letter to Thomas Nelson, 8/20/1785)”4

Enforcement of our Constitution lies in EACH and EVERY “PERSON” whether giving consent by vote or elected to office at any level of government :
First and Foremost: “Religion and Morality”:
Definition of Religion: “1. Religion, in its most comprehensive sense, includes a belief in the being and perfections of God, in the revelation of his will to man, in man's obligation to obey his commands, in a state of reward and punishment, and in man's accountableness to God; and also true godliness or piety of life, with the practice of all moral duties. It therefore comprehends theology, as a system of doctrines or principles, as well as practical piety; for the practice of moral duties without a belief in a divine lawgiver, and without reference to his will or commands, is not religion.
Definition of Morality: “ n. The doctrine or system of moral duties, or the duties of men in their social character; ethics.
The system of morality to be gathered from the writings of ancient sages, falls very short of that delivered in the gospel.
1. The practice of the moral duties; virtue. We often admire the politeness of men whose morality we question.
2. The quality of an action which renders it good; the conformity of an act to the divine law, or to the principles of rectitude. This conformity implies that the act must be performed by a free agent, and from a motive of obedience to the divine will. This is the strict theological and scriptural sense of morality. But we often apply the word to actions which accord with justice and human laws, without reference to the motives form which they proceed.”
Article II:8 ..he shall take the following Oath or Affirmation5: I____ do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully6 execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States;
Article VI: “..shall be bound7 thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding. ...shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution..”

There is no punishment as in man’s law, for violating our Constitution or Supreme Law of the Land. The consequences are the destruction of God’s Laws applied to our Representative, Republican Form of Government with the loses to each and every “person” who lives as a citizen with the” privileges and immunities” “Guaranteed”.

This destruction started with our President placing his mortal body and philosophy onto private property to remove “person”; and to perform replacement with his chosen individual(s) (each of whom also chose disobedience to Constitution)- Chrysler Corporation; and followed by his implemented “The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act” absent the “Whole” of a Political Party’s Elected, Congressional Representatives with 34 members of the Administration’s Party joining in “concert of measure” to refuse signature as law.

Patient Protection and Affordable Act is unconstitutional not in relation to “majority”; but to the ESSENTIAL FOUNDATION in LAW of “Religion and morality” and by disobedience to “Oath of Office”.

George Washington would recognize, as do so many Americans in and out of Congress, that President Obama and his minions in Congress “..who should labor to subvert these great pillars of human happiness, these firmest props of the duties of men and citizens... Let it simply be asked, where is the security for property, for reputation, for life, in the sense of religious obligation desert the oaths which are the instruments of investigation in courts of justice?”

“Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act”; each and every decree and dictate performed by this President’s cabinet, Agencies, and Commissions; the control of commerce through “America’s financial Security Act”; and all statutes, EO, regulations , court rulings (including the separation of religion from government) which are INCONSISTENT and NOT DERIVED from our Nation’s Republican Form of Government, must be repealed, made NULL AND VOID from Inception.

 “Majority” has no value in Law over “Religion and Morality” with Oath of Office.

1. “Socialism” didn’t have ground to control “collective” concept until middle of 1800's forward.  Frederic Bastiat, French Parliament,  was the writer who opposed ‘that thinking’ against the individual in his essay “The Law”. “The Law”  is complete and present by  Googled or searched by  typing “The Law” or “Bastiat”.

3. Noah Webster said this about family: “All government originates in families, and if neglected there, it will hardly exist in society. ... The foundation of all government and of all social order must be laid in families and in the discipline of youth. ... The Education of youth, an employment of more consequence than making laws and preaching the gospel, because it lays the foundation on which both law and gospel rest for success. ...(“NOAH WEBSTER, FOUNDING FATHER OF AMERICAN SCHOLARSHIP AND EDUCATION” by Rosalie J. Slater, M.A.; in Foundation for American Christian Education’s facsimile edition of “FIRST EDITION OF AN AMERICAN DICTIONARY OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE”). Should be in every Public, School, College, and University Library in the United States of America and every Family who is concerned about their children; including every “single-person” who is a member of “In a more enlarged sense, the whole race or family of man is a society, and called human society.”

  1. Enforcement of “...and to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed..” resides in each-one-person’s “THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE” to the REPUBLIC, Representative Government with our Constitution the Supreme Law “Under God” who is ‘The Source’ of all Law since Adam and Eve chose to eat the apple.

    Enforcement of our Constitution lies in EACH and EVERY “PERSON” whether giving consent by vote or elected to office at any level of government :
    First and Foremost: “Religion and Morality”:

    Needs to be added.
