The Twelve Principals Of Liberty

Our Founding Fathers understood and enshrined within our most sacred documents, fundamental truths, so evident in their existence, so plain in their understanding, that no individual, true to his moral code, would doubt their validity.

"In disquisitions of every kind there are certain primary truths or first principles upon which all subsequent reasonings must depend. . . and [are] so obvious in themselves, and so agreeable to the natural and unsophisticated dictates of common sense, that they challenge the assent of a sound and unbiased mind, with a degree of force and conviction almost equally irresistible." – Alexander Hamilton, Federalist Papers, No. 31

We at United in Liberty hold to these, The 12 Principles of Liberty™ as a 'Moral Code' for all of America and its future generations. Those who find themselves in constant study and application of these truths are most able to defend and protect the freedoms and liberties so many others before have fought to uphold.

Principle #1 – God endows mankind with unalienable rights such as life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

Principle #2 – Unalienable rights cannot be made, altered or abolished by government or mankind.

Principle #3 – As its proper role, government is instituted by mankind exclusively to protect unalienable rights.

Principle #4 – It is the right of the people to alter or abolish an abusive government.

Principle #5 – All mankind are justified before God in the defense of unalienable rights.

Principle #6 – To ensure freedom, the law must be created by a moral and educated people.

Principle #7 – Freedom can only be sustained through a representative republic.

Principle #8 – To prevent the abuse of power, government must be limited, local, checked and balanced.

Principle #9 – All mankind are created equal before God, the law, and in the protection of their rights.

Principle #10 – All mankind are created with the ability to choose and each have responsibility for their own agency.

Principle #11 – Prosperity occurs when free enterprise and private property exist with minimal government regulation and restrained debt.

Principle #12 – The family, in its traditional form, as ordained by God, is the core unit of free society.
