Rights come from God, and governments
were instituted of God for the benefit of man, in order to protect those
rights.
The Proper Role of Government by Ezra Taft Benson will
help you understand the purpose of government and its limits and powers. It can be used as a basic guideline for determining
whether or not certain actions by government are constitutional or fall
within their jurisdiction.
From the foreword by U.S. Congressman C.L. Otter:
"The political
and economic principles I hold most dear can be found in these very
pages. Seldom have the essential elements of freedom and liberty
been so simply, succinctly and eloquently stated as in this thin volume.
I have a personal "Three C" test for anything I try to do or have done
when considering public policy. Is it constitutional? What
would my constituents want? Am I heeding my conscience?
"I find the wisdom compiled here by Ezra Taft Benson greatly
instructive in reaching my conclusions. His is a practical,
truth-intensive and a timeless handbook for political action against
statism. He invokes such exceptional minds as John Locke, Thomas
Jefferson, Adam Smith, Thomas Paine and Frederic Bastiat.
"Anyone seeking a broader and deeper understanding of how to limit the
collective authority will surely benefit from reading The Proper Role
of Government." |
