United we stand, divided we fall

 The Constitutional Conservative Committee understands that The United States Constitution enshrines the principle that government exists to protect the rights of all citizens, and has no legitimate power to deprive any citizen or class of citizen of their rights without due process of law.  Our country, under the Constitution, has been more successful than most in allowing individuals of different ethnic and religious groups to live together peacefully; and when we have failed, it has been because of the failures of citizens to respect the equality of all under the Constitution, or the failures of public officials to respect just limits on power. 

  In a country as large the United States, it is literally impossible for any one individual, or agency, or government to know all there is to know in order to ensure the safety and happiness of the people. The Constitutional Conservative Committee  recognizes this, and therefore embraces the principles of individual liberty, limited government, and federalism. Federalism simply says that we trust the people in the states to govern themselves, but our national government should have the power to do things that states could not do on their own – like defend from foreign invasion or establish and regulate a national currency and otherwise make it easy for people to do business with one another across state lines.
