Guardians of Liberty: Trump and the Constitution
February 19, 2025
By Susan Lawson
Excerpt:
The United States was born not just in rebellion against a distant monarch, but in revolt against tyranny itself. The Founding Fathers put their lives, property, wealth, and honor on the line to establish a great nation based on freedom, liberty, and self-governance. They faced impossible odds: the might of the British Empire, divisions among the colonies, and the entrenched moral and political questions raised by slavery — a practice that was already embedded in the economies of Europe, Africa, and the Americas.
Centuries later, many identify echoes of their struggles in Donald Trump’s battle against what he calls the “Deep State” and established global elites. Though not everyone admires his swaggering and often brazen public persona, his sacrifices — enduring unceasing attacks on his liberty, his family, and his wealth — reflect the Founders’ willingness to risk everything for what they believed. Like the framers of the Constitution, Trump has emerged as a lightning rod for the ideals of sovereignty, liberty, and national independence.
The Founders’ Sacrifices
The signers of the Declaration of Independence and the framers of the Constitution faced enormous dangers. If their revolution failed, they would be put to death for treason. Their families could face imprisonment, their homes confiscated, and their wealth annihilated. But they pressed on, motivated by a deep sense of responsibility to future generations.
These men were greatly influenced by classical philosophy and the plight for sovereignty in ancient Greece, Rome, and England. They read Aristotle, Plato, Cicero, and Locke and used these thinkers to forge a government based on natural rights and individual liberty.
