so Ron Paul wants to uphold the constitution the way it was writen?

Question

so im going to guess that mean all amendments after 1804 being all of the founding fathers were dead by 1865 when the 13th was amended,

does that mean he wants to get bring back slavery , remove Citizenship Rights , take away the black vote and or anyone who is a decendent of a slave, the womens vote, term length, bring back poll tax , and not stop congress from raising their pay when ever they want?


now im just asking because he said i want to uphold the constitution the way the founding fathers meant it

so what does he really mean by that?

im not trying to sound stupid i want the real way he means to yphold the constitution the way it was meant thats all

Answer 1

I don't support Ron Paul, and not 100% sure myself, but let me try to expliain.

I belive that Ron Paul is prolly one of the more honest politicians. I think his thought is that Bush has done what he wants with the constitution, and said heck with the rest. He would like us to go back to the original way.

However, there are many downsides to this thought process. One being, the founding fathers prolly wouldn't want that because they knew stuff would change. They had no idea things like Credit Cards would arrive or flight or any of that. Some things (like some you stated) were added to the constitution for reasons. I don't think Ron Paul would remove rights, or let congress raise their pay. But, he does want to change our education system around competely and go back to the gold standard are a few. We may never know what Ron Paul would really like to do.

Hope that helps.

Answer 2

If he means "Freedom of Religion" as was written, instead of "Freedom from Religion", then that is a good thing. Abortion is not in the Constitution, neither is mandatory health care. Gun Ownership is an individual right, not limited to states only.
If he means stopping Government from hiding behind the Constitution to take away our rights, then that is a good thing.

I would hope he does not mean to imply that all amendments after the first ten should be removed. ( Although I'm not sure about continuing to let women vote.) JUST KIDDING!!!!!!!!!!

I'm not a Ron Paul supporter, and don't see myself becoming one. I'm assuming he wants to bring back more of the originalist thinking in the Constitution, But, if he wants to remove amendments after 1804, then he not only won't get elected, but should be laughed out of the election process.

Answer 3

Ron Paul wants to uphold the Constitution as our Founding fathers INTENDED, not WRITTEN. The framers of this nation knew times change and so they specifically made it so that the constitution could be amended to adapt to the times. Formal amendments are part of the constitution and thus Ron Paul would recognize their legitimacy since thats how the founding fathers intended our government to work.

Answer 4

No! No change to the things you listed.

He's simply talking about limiting the "ORIGINAL" powers given to the federal government and President, & re-instating "Sound" {Constitional}money that will hold most inflation in check.

To answer this question correctly you'd have to compare exactly what the Constitution says, to the way the federal government has slowly erroded a good portion of the constitution currently.....Did you know all Americans no longer have the safety of the unconstitutional search & siezure "Law" that was guaranteed by the 4th Amendment?

The Constitution is known as "The Supreme Law of the Land" & was written to prevent despotism!!!
Thanks for the question.

Answer 5

Ron Paul primarily wants to limit the power of the President by removing his ability to enter into war without a Congressional declaration (The President has no Constitutional authority to do that..) and eliminate Federal departments that bloat the size of the Fed but aren't provided for in the Constitution. (I question the need for the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Education (States are to provide for education law..all the Fed tends to do is provide regulations states must meet without providing funds for it and "dumb down" standards to the lowest common denominator), Since Ron favors an expanded view of individual rights with limited government interference, this is obviously contradictory to cancelling suffrage for women and blacks.

If you want to see what this means in practical terms, look at non-partisan Project VoteSmart's page on Rep. Paul which will show you who gives him money, endorses him, and how he's voted in the past. Paul is running on his record...not hiding from it.

you're able to make up issues to assert yet once you fail to make up then say at as quickly as this way the two you would be having honesty or style on the different hand in case you tried something you're actually not stable at then you definately does not be having the two of honesty and ask your self. Like if i prefer somebody to flow with me someplace (this is merely occasion made up in few secs ok): Me to a guy: i'm going there on my own might you prefer to come back. do not say "i've got not got all and sundry" because of the fact it makes you look such as you're asking a great prefer, such as you count on them. i for my area do not prefer to ask all and sundry different than a million-2 very stable friends yet i will comprehend that females prefer company so ask with out making different guy or woman experience which you relatively prefer them badly. Me to a woman: Are you unfastened the following day. you do not could be that inventive with opposite gender coz i've got self assurance that if different guy or woman is involved then style isn't that significant (and that i additionally experience at as quickly as forwardness to be a style now and lower back) and different guy or woman isn't involved then style isn't significant the two despite the fact that it would be deadly coz by technique of vogue you might have the means to take him with you a pair of times then you definately might run outta style and he does not come, by utilising that element you would be bit greater emotionally linked to that guy or woman so him ignoring you would be greater painful that what it could have been in any different case. Sorry for getting in a lot component, i don't understand if that's what you asked for despite the fact that that's little clever data ;) do merely not hurry whilst picking adult adult males. i think a guy or woman could be a minimum of 20+ or 22+ may well be greater effective for locating a greater half yet all and sundry has precise to make rules for his or her existence. Edit: in case you dun like all and sundry then additionally you're able to coach for once you will start to love somebody lol i think of mai bacche bigaar raha hoon....merely forget approximately approximately what I reported right here and up there ok.
