'''Preamble''': THE SOLE PURPOSE OF GOVERNMENT is to protect the inherent natural rights of the individual. Those rights include, but are not limited to, life, liberty, property, expression, and the pursuit of happiness. There is no better way to preserve and promote those individual rights than the Rule of Law, freedom of international movement and trade, economic freedom, peaceful foreign policy, and sound monetary policy. | '''Preamble''': THE SOLE PURPOSE OF GOVERNMENT is to protect the inherent natural rights of the individual.

'''DEMOCRATIC PRINCIPLES''' protect the right of individuals to peacefully petition and alter their government without need for violence. Redistricting, voting systems, and voting methods must ensure equal and fair representation for a republican form of government, while protecting the constitutional rights of political minorities. | |||
'''RESPECT FOR HUMAN DIGNITY''' promotes a culture of tolerance in which people are judged as individuals and demands equal treatment of everyone by the government. Prejudice and dehumanization only serve to empower the state, and are the first step in taking away liberty. Liberty is both cosmopolitan and universal; it belongs to everyone, everywhere, all the time. | |||
