Our Constitution has been called the law of the land, indeed
it is the basis of all our laws, or at least it is supposed to be.
Have you ever read the Constitution? Do you have a copy of
the Constitution? Can you name any of the powers granted to the federal
government in the Constitution?
Can you tell me which of the following concepts or words are
NOT
contained in the U. S. Constitution?
1.
The term,”Separation of Church and State”.
2.
The unalienable rights of, “Life, Liberty and
the pursuit of Happiness”.
3.
“Government of the people, by the people and for
the people.”
4.
The President of the United States shall be
elected by the people of the United States.
5.
The Supreme Court of the United States shall consist
of nine justices appointed by the President of the United States.
Could you spot the right answer? Which one is not from the
Constitution?
The correct answer is: All of the above. Don’t feel bad if
you got it wrong. Our public school system has been woefully inadequate in
teaching us for a long time and we the people have been mislead and lied to for
so long we take these truths to be self evident.
1.
Is from a letter from Thomas Jefferson to a
church many years after the Constitution was adopted.
2.
Is from the Declaration of Independence,
(written by Thomas Jefferson).
3.
Is from the Gettysburg Address, (Abraham
Lincoln).
4.
The President is elected by the Electoral
college as detailed in Article II, Section 1.
5.
The Supreme Court is created from Article III,
but it does not state the number of Justices.
