Telling the difference between right and wrong is simple because there is but one Supreme Law of the Land - The US Constitution - which protects us all from our rights being violated! “The constitutions of the original thirteen states were written during a period in history when the people were keenly aware of their rights and of the possibility that a strong government might deprive them of these rights. The Constitution of the United States, which was written only a few years after the Declaration of Independence, was framed by men who had lived during a period of strict control and later during a period of too little control. As a result it was the intention of these dedicated men that the new government established under the United States Constitution protect both the rights of the individual and the rights of society.” The information above is a direct quote from the preface of “Constitutional Law for Police” Volume One of the Police Text Series by John C. Klotter, B.A., LL.B. Associate Director Southern Police Institute and Jacqueline R. Kanovitz, B.A., J.D. Library of Congress Catalog Card Number 67-30989 - 4th printing 1970 Number at bottom of page V - Small #1 then 277 US 438 (1928) So, if you consider that the purpose of the Constitution is to prevent the violation of our rights and that it is the highest law (trumps all others) then the right thing to do is to support and uphold the Constitution! To subvert or violate it in any way would be wrong. Example 1 (Equal Rights for all) All men are created equal so discrimination is wrong and illegal - an amendment to legalize discrimination declares that all men are not created equal and is UnAmerican and wrong. Example 2. (The drug war) Some have decided that civil liberties must take a back seat to law enforcment tactics which violate the Bill of Rights. These officials have decided that their loyalty to the Constitution has taken a back seat to their prosperous career and they are a traitor and a felon for willingly and knowingly violating the Constitution or failing to uphold their oath. (Criminals who actually threaten society) Conclusion: When deciding if something is right or wrong, just consider "who's rights are in jeopardy". It would after all, be to defeat the very purpose of the Constitution to empower the government to violate the rights of anyone who had not violated the rights of another.
