Good Government and the rights of Citizens

Government is good inasmuch as it serves the people.  The natural course of things is for government institutions to grow and for liberty to wane.  The founders of this great country recognized these truths, and designed a constitutional system of separated powers.
 
As a citizen, you have the right to challenge your elected officials if they exceed their powers and encroach on your inalienable rights.
 
As an elected official, I will be informed by the principles of our constitution.
