description: Page 9 - Our state and federal constitutions go hand in hand to lay the foundation of our liberties. In the name of living and breathing constitutional ideology we have become a litigious legal society. The overwhelming amount of new laws and case law sometimes obscures peoples basic rights and we need to fight against these limitations based on popular sentiment or ideology. Our founding is based on a solid and unmovable belief in the preservation of the right of ordinary people to be the primary source of power given by God. - Results from #80
