Bob Enyart and co-host Doug McBurney on Monday presented the first public reading of The Proposed Constitution of America (kgov.com/constitution). On Tuesday they presented the first public reading of America's 2-page Criminal Code (kgov.com/criminal-code). Today, after commenting about the conclusion of the criminal code, the guys explain exactly how it is that America's current constitution is itself, indeed, unconstitutional. Commitment to the constitution can itself be an idol. One way to recognize constitutional idolatry is for those so devoted to care nothing for the incontrovertible evidence against our existing constitution. So below, see our U.S. Declaration of Independence, our first Constitution, and our second Constitution, annotated with comments from BEL, and pay special attention to the Articles of Confederation's Articles VI and XIII. (But not all the links below are yet working, so we ask your forgiveness for that.) Today's Resource: God's Principles of Government Join Bob Enyart as he explores God's Principles of Government. From Against Democracy where we look at the biblical principles related to the idea of majority rule, to a Representative Republic and its similarities with democracy, to a real Alternative to Democracy, to what a Bible-based Constitution actually looks like, after this series, the Scriptures' principles of governance will permeate your thinking like never before! Or your money back. (Really.) The KGOV Annotated Declaration of Independence and First Two U.S. Constitutions America's three primary founding documents, the Declaration and its two Constitutions are annotated below in support of the proposed new Constitution of America (© 2000, 2005, 2010, 2015, 2020). The current U.S. Constitution (1789) itself is unconstitutional having violated the preamble, Article XIII, Article VI, and the postscript of the Articles of Confederation (1781), the constitution then in force over the lands of the original thirteen states. This document highlights serious governmental and moral errors in the U.S. Constitution and the Declaration of Independence (1776). See for example the debilitating left-wing, anti-Christian philosophy of the Declaration, and the Constitution's implementation of the humanist democratic concept of representative republicanism and Article 1 which counted most blacks as three-fifths of a person. The KGOV Annotated Unanimous Declaration of the Thirteen United States of America July 4, 1776 NOTE. Thomas Jefferson, the primary author of the Declaration of Independence, edited out everything about Jesus as Lord in his Jefferson Bible, rejected Christ as Savior in his religious beliefs, omitted held left-wing political views, and tragically used his influence in support of the unjust and blood-thirsty French Revolution. The Annotations section below identifies the egregious fallacies he wrote into our own Declaration. See especially the paragraphs titled Laws of Nature; Derivation of Power from the People; Right to Revolution; and Governing Principles from Human Opinion. For both Constitutions and the Declaration, the underlined words link to the Annotations sections below; bold emphasis marks items of special interest; and brief comments appear in [square brackets]: When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature [no such laws exist regarding governmental authority, and Jefferson used this phrase to dilute acknowledgement of God and God's law as the only valid source of authority, and especially to discount God's special revelation of Scripture as authoritative] and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.--We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are crea
