Dr. Malone nails it like usual, and I think it's fairly obvious that the people tantamount -- the Constitution wasn't written to restrain the people, it was written to restrain the GOVERNMENT! Although the term that I like to use is that government should be the REFEREES, ensuring that everybody gets a fair shake. https://simulationcommander.substack.com/p/politicians-are-the-referees-of-america

As the United States goes so goes the world. When this document was introduced to other countries a shock wave of freedom swept through the world. If you read this document it’s really miraculous that the group,our founders, were all put in this place at this time in history. I really think God had a hand in it. I pray that God will again reach his hand out and with his greatness put our country back into his good graces. If ever this world needed a miracle it’s now. J.Goodrich
I cannot believe there is anyone in America of sound mind that does not understand what Dr Malone has written in this essay. However, we have two problems. The first is that elected leaders and non-elected actors today ignore both the constitution and the bill of rights. They simply do not care. The second problem is that we have a large number of citizens, especially younger folks, that do not want the responsibility of self rule and therefore are open to the nanny state. These problems have to be addressed to turn this ship around.
The best inroad I have had with people is the corruption angle. I just start with that, try to create a formula in their mind, and then try and transpose that formula onto specific events.
Most people understand the system is rotten, that is a very wide common overlap. And then hone down from there, to the specifics.
There will be some that will not respect the Constitution, but most do, even if just atmospherically, it is a hook that can be drawn into the specific.
I have been learning to change my tone and mode of transmitting information, start simple, just staty simple, and then overlay that into current events.
I have to keep telling myself that not everyone is born a cynic. It doesn't come natural to everyone. Some people are born "yeah yeah give me more" and others are born "hey, wait a minute".

True… but Congress has voluntarily abdicated its authority to the agencies…administrative and otherwise. The parties are whores and sock-puppets. Whenever the 3 letter blobs want take something that rightly belongs to the citizen (like privacy and to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures, especially electronic), they pearl-clutch and state ’National Security’! ‘Wokeism’ is Marxism…which the same as Communism and the flag of surrender and compliance is the alphabet-mafia’s. We are being ‘colonized’ by the formerly-colonized at our border with young, able-bodied men. There is no political will to stop any of it. I am a Constitutionalist.
We the people, for the people, by the people! Have we forgotten that the people come first and not special interest? When Congress voted to give corporations the same rights as individuals and it was pushed by the Republicans, it is said that that was the turning point in the destruction that we are now seeing.!
"These unlawful breaches have resulted in imposition of physical, psychological, and financial harms to the Citizens of the United States. Furthermore, I assert that these unlawful activities of the Federal Government and its agents constitute actions which have deprived the Citizens of the United States of life, liberty, property, and have included the unlawful seizure of private property (our minds) for public use."

Dr. Malone, thanks for calling this out, but to be fair, Etienne De La Boetie2 (https://substack.com/@artofliberty) was the one who opened my eyes to the illegitimacy of government MANY YEARS ago. I recommend everyone check out his work!

My answer is all of the above but in the service of the people. The government needs to protect and serve the people but at times they need to shape the way the country grows. For example the early railroads were co-financed by and the land provided by state and US government. I am sure there was opposition at the time but the government is supposed to look ahead and ensure the countries needs in the future are not compromised by decisions of today. Another example is the ushering in of the computing and internet age. To some extent the government takes on the role of ruler for justice situations and to promote required programs that my be unpopular but necessary for the future security of the country.
The problem comes up when these efforts go rogue and the requirement to serve the citizens is not being met. We are at that point now and a rebuild of those agencies is required.
This is an excellent essay that most intelligent, open minded, people who have been actively watching what has transpired with our government can agree with. Dr Malone, you are again astute in your observations of problems in our wonderful country!
Doing this on my phone. It's an issue I would better address on my computer. Long day here.
That said -
Your question is valid and our Constitution and Amendments should provide the answers. I am in full agreement with your issue and the answer you've developed.
I can only partially reflect on relevant considerations at this point.
Here you have considered the issue comparing it to Black Letter Law. In practice our federal courts have assumed the role of interpreting what the BLL means. Constitutional Experts like Lee, Levin, Cruz might help here but they are underwater dealing with other issues of the day.
Our Supreme Court has so many concerning issues, they are a worry in themselves. I can only pray that despite the Social Media Censorship
Texas/Florida Cases they've agreed to hear, they will take up our Missouri v Biden case (which comes far closer to the issues of our concern here). Then, I hope they will reach a (for our sake) viable opinion that will help us right our ship of state. FYI ET has an article today describing the case accepted as First to Watch This Session, with some particulars.
If you are considering this for inclusion in your book you may want to work it up a bit more. To consider the point of Black Letter Law vs as interpreted by the Federal Courts.
This is SO SORELY NEEDED! We surely need a way....
You are hugely appreciated! Fine job thus far! POWER PLUS to you!
THANK you Dr. Malone for this crystal clear synopsis of some of the key passages within the U.S. Constitution. May I add one not included that is extremely pertinent vis-'a-vis our wide open border situation - specifically addressed in the short paragraph in Article IV., Section 4., - that reads immediately following "The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government" - "and shall protect each of them against invasion".
Clearly, the duty of the US federal government as written in Article IV., Section 4., to protect the Union against invasion is either totally ignored, OR, the elected or employed who "swear" to "uphold" the U.S. Constitution have NEVER READ that document.
To date, there is NO "test" of the (7) Articles; (24) Sections, nor (27) Amendments included in the U.S. Constitution. ALL that is "required" is that candidates for office (any) office up to and including the presidency is that one must be a natural born citizen and a certain age. That's it!
Outside of government, individual are tested on everything from drivers licenses to becoming a lawyer
without which, one cannot 'legally' drive a vehicle on public road, nor practice "law" without passing RIGOROUS "bar exams"..and yet there is NO requirement for anyone running for any federal office to have ANY notion of what is in that Document (and required of them) via their sworn oath to "protect" the U.S. Constitution.
One would think that individual knowledge of the U.S. Constitution would begin with PUBLIC education
but then an "educated" populace would demand the federal government "operate" WITHIN the purview ALLOWED for the executive, legislative and judicial - of this latter branch perhaps closest to the precepts written within the Constitution have either condoned or themselves done great damage to the constitution via "tenured" jurists who put ACTIVISM way before the Constitution.
It really isn't any wonder at the perilous situation extant here in the United States circa 2023 AD - nor any indication of a strong, positive force to overcome the long march by the Collective Left to take down the United States - and America - permanently.

Doctor Malone, the unconstitutional acts are many!
What we need to do is to immediately find a way to stop these unconstitutional acts!
I'm tired of people saying that we can't do anything if we're not in control of all of the three branches of government.
We have had times when that was the case, but nothing was done to assure the constitutionality of certain laws.
Our ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES DON'T KNOW the constitution and that is WHY we have so many of the LAWS being referred to the SCOTUS to determine their constitutionality.
I fear that almost nobody in the government has the faintest clue what is in the constitution let alone why or what it might actually mean. Government is clearly out of control and is using new technology to make itself a dictator. The last thing it thinks about or cares about is some old bit of paper nobody reads or understands. I wish it were not so but fear that it is. Thanks for writing this. I wish you were in the government. Reading Durant on Rome I notice the best bits were when a secure and sensible King appointed wise people to get things done properly. Not much chance of that in the US the way things are now and absolutely none in the UK.

Brilliant sir! Our government politicians have lost all integrity. Money and power is their motivation. They are self-servents.
True… but Congress has voluntarily abdicated its authority to the agencies…administrative and otherwise. The parties are whores and sock-puppets. Whenever the 3 letter blobs want take something that rightly belongs to the citizen (like privacy and to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures, especially electronic), they pearl-clutch and state ’National Security’! ‘Wokeism’ is Marxism…which the same as Communism and the flag of surrender and compliance is the alphabet-mafia’s.
