Task

Civilizations
• Anglo-Saxons
Founders'
Monumental Task
was to Structure a
Government with
All the Power in
the People
The definition of government is "a system
of ruling or
controlling”.
Therefore, the American Founders measured political systems in
terms of the amount of power or control of government over its
people.
Yardstick
Using this type of yardstick, the American Founders discovered the two extremes of government systems to be anarchy on the one hand, and tyranny on the other.
Tyranny Anarchy
(Too Much) (No Law)
Tyranny is overthrown by anarchy and from the ashes of anarchy
tyranny arises.
Founder’s Objective
To find a “balanced center”
between these two extremes.
•Ruler’s Law
•People’s Law
•No Law
People’s Law
Government is kept under the control of the people and
political control is maintained at the balanced center.
PURPOSE OF GOVERNMENT
1. Protect our borders from foreign invasion.
2. To provide law and order.
( Safety )
3. To ensure justice in the
courts.
The Founder’s seemed anxious that future
generations know about and recognize the
characteristics of
RULER’S LAW
1. Authority under Ruler's Law is nearly always established by force, violence, and conquest. (Apathy)
2. Therefore, all sovereign power is
considered to be in the conqueror or his
descendants.
4. The entire country is considered to be the property of the ruler. He speaks of it as his "realm”.
5. The thrust of governmental power is from the top down, not from the people upward.
All power in the ruler
PEOPLE
6. The people have no
inalienable rights. The "king giveth and the king taketh
away”.
7. Government is by the whims of men, not by the fixed rule of law which the people need in order to govern their affairs with confidence.

8. The ruler issues edicts which are called
"the law." He then interprets the law and
enforces it, thus maintaining tyrannical control

9. Under Ruler's Law, problems are always solved by issuing more edicts or laws, setting up more bureaus,
harassing the people with more
regulators, and charging the people for these "services" by continually adding to their burden of taxes.

anything.
11. The long history of Ruler's Law is one of:
–blood and terror,
–perpetual poverty,
–excessive taxation,
–stringent regulations,
The Founders were attracted to People’s Law and the
institutes of freedom
practiced in the Bible and among the
Anglo-Saxons.
English history shows that the strongest and most persistent
quality of the Anglo-Saxon race is an attachment to personal
liberty. Often one may not be
aware of this attachment until
The characteristics of Anglo-Saxon
Common Law or
People’s Law are:
People’s Law
1.They considered themselves
a commonwealth of freemen.
2. All decisions and the
selection of leaders had to be with the consent of the people, preferably by full consensus, not just a
majority
Elected Unanimously
3 . The laws by which they were governed were considered
natural laws given by divine
dispensation, and were so well
known by the people they did
not have to be written down.
4. Power was dispersed among the people and never allowed to concentrate in any one
person or group. Even in time of war, the authority granted to the leaders was temporary and the power of the people to remove them was direct and
simple.
5. Primary
responsibility for resolving
problems rested first of all with the individual, then
the family, then
the community,

there was complete reparation

Cycle of Democracy
Dr. Alexandra Tytler, 1770
• A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover they can vote
themselves largess (money) from the public treasury.
• From that moment on, the majority votes for who promises the most from the
treasury – democracy collapses –
dictatorship follows. BONDAGE
