The Unquestioned Authority of the Federal Government and the Lack of Demand for Transparency

With the multitude of federal agencies and organizations that have evolved since the late 1830s, one must question the actual extent to which these entities uphold the Constitution of the United States of America. The original ‘Founding Fathers’ who laid down the foundation for this nation have mostly passed on, yet the government continues to expand in ways they could not have imagined. We must ask: why do Americans not demand more proof of federal claims to national authority from their government?

Evolution of Federal Authority

The Founding Fathers intended for the federal government to be a protector of the Constitution and the rights of its citizens. However, as time has passed, new forms of authority and agencies have been granted to various departments, often without clear accountability or transparency. This raises the question of whether these entities are truly operating to uphold the Constitution or if they are more focused on their own interests and maintaining their budgets.

The Lack of Demand for Accountability

When citizens inform federal officials of constitutional violations enacted by Congress, the response is often dismissive. Instead of taking action to correct these violations, many of these officials suggest that citizens should start a lawsuit. This response indicates a systemic failure to address constitutional violations and a lack of commitment to upholding the Constitution.

Is it possible that these entities are more interested in maintaining their paychecks and retaining their authority than in protecting the Constitution? The answer to this question is a resounding yes. The actions of these agencies suggest that they are complicit in the maintenance of a system that prioritizes maintaining their own power and resources over the principles laid out in the Constitution.

The Motto of Government Employees

One might interpret the actions of these agencies as a form of mottos, where their primary function is not to serve the citizens but to serve their own interests. A phrase like “Feces to America U-rination” might not be an exaggeration when considering the manner in which these agencies pass on responsibilities and avoid direct action.

The Proof of Federal Authority

The US Constitution is the ultimate proof of federal claims to national authority. It outlines the rights, duties, and limitations of the government and is the basis for all legal power within the United States. The Constitution was ratified by the original states and has been the framework for the creation of new states by the Federal government. Copies of the Constitution are available in libraries and archives across the country, and an autographed original is on display at the National Archives.

Although these facts provide the proof needed, the absence of a concerted effort to uphold the Constitution suggests that there is a lack of accountability and a need for more transparency within the federal government. The question remains: why do Americans not demand more from their government?

Conclusion

The lack of demand from Americans for proof of federal claims to national authority is a concerning issue. The US Constitution provides the foundation for all federal authority, and it is imperative that the government adheres to and upholds its principles. It is time for citizens to demand more from their elected officials and the agencies they represent. Only then can we ensure that the federal government remains true to the principles of the Constitution.
