CP Meeting April 1st

On Defense:

The very purpose of Government, as defined in the 2nd paragraph of the Declaration of Independence, is “to secure these [unalienable] rights, Governments are instituted among Men”, “that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”

To fulfill this obligation, the Preamble of the Constitution states one of the duties specifically delegated to the Federal Government is to “Provide for the common defense”.
