The Essence of the Problem That Lies Before Us

 

Preamble: Any form of public policy, including health, gives expression to a species of religion which government officials are seeking to evangelically and forcibly impose on other individuals (i.e., citizens). No one – not governments (whether federal or state) and not individuals -- can be shown to have a right under the U.S. Constitution -- to establish the foregoing sort of religious perspective.

The foregoing preamble serves to introduce a 65- page article that critically reflects on the the U.S. Constitution with respect to the nature of the relationship among: The establishment clause; the necessary and proper clause; the Ninth Amendment, the Tenth Amendment, and the guarantee clause of Article IV, Section 4 in conjunction with the structural character of the roles that have been assigned to the legislative, executive, and judicial branches of federal government. Among other things, the foregoing conceptual exploration seeks to understand the potential meaning and significance of terms  such as: "religion," "establishment," "retained rights," "reserved powers," "necessary and proper," "the people," "guarantee," as well as "a republican form of government". 

I believe the foregoing article provides readers with considerable insight into what the essential nature of the problem is with which we are presently confronted, and, consequently, I contend that the aforementioned article is of crucial significance to every American -- especially in light of the events that currently are unfolding all about us -- and, as a result, constitutes essential reading material. Please let others know about this article, because these are issues about which we all need to critically reflect and act upon.
