Effective Government.

The People of the United States of America, in good faith, and by the means of licit process, have promoted decorous persons of repute to civil service. These men and women have been commissioned by The People, with the duty to effectively govern. To meet this obligation The People have given them all constitutionally constrained authority, which carries the inherent weight of onus accountability.

We The People, have a reasonable expatiation that those elected as government officials will honorably uphold the fundamental values of this Union. Values that are not expressed as commandments leading to egregious law, nor are they simple guidelines able to be selfishly manipulated. They are the conceptual clauses that are intended to act as a humble conscience to the elected and, to sanctify the inalienable equality of the individuals, without which the Union would not exist.

These values were added as the Preamble of the Constitution for the United States. These Enacting Causes both established the requirement of a written constitution and provide weight to constitutional interpretation. It is also a reminder that this Union was created by The People thus it is the people who are Sovereign. That the Union of The People has no authority except that given by the People of the Union.

Political parties have no power or definition within the constitution. Their formation occurred during the ratification of the federal constitution in 1787. The first parties were known as the Federalists and the Anti-Federalists. However, they did not become a permanent fixture in this country until 1797. George Washington even warned against “the baneful effects of the spirit of party” in his farewell address.

Ineffectively governing has become a significant issue in recent history as elected officials, divided down party lines, refuse to compromise. They use their position as legislators to stall or prevent the passing of critical bills or budgets. Their sense of party affiliation now has the power to influence their decisions and justify means antipodal to the fundamental values of the people.

The elected erroneously claim to be supporting their constitutes. And as their constituents, we have been infected by the same spirit of party. The opposition has become “dangerous to our way of life”. We fear for the general welfare of our country yet, in truth it is not the countries welfare we protect. The ideas we support are no longer ideas that support the Union of The People as they violate the fundamental values that are the Union.

But we are not just constituents to those we have promoted to civil service. We have not appointed them to represent us within the government. We have elected them to be representatives of The People of the Union. A Union that can only exist with a set of fundamental values uniting them.

When partisan tactics are in contrition the fundamental values of the union and the elected use these tactics to support their party’s belief.

When partisan politics impedes, disrupts or prevents the Enacting Clauses of The Constitution of the United States of America. When the ideas of the Union no longer represent the ideas of the representative. We the People must consider their actions as a dereliction of obligation; not as divided by parties but as a whole within the constitutionally established branches, to which we have appointed them.
