Restore 1787 U.S.-constitutional intentions: Responsible-Human-Independence “to ourselves and our Posterity”

 Phil Beaver seeks to collaborate on the-objective-truth, which can only be discovered. The comment box below invites readers to write.

"Civic" refers to citizens who collaborate for individual happiness with civic integrity more than for the city, state, nation, or society.
Consider writing a personal paraphrase of the preamble, which offers fellow citizens mutual equality:  For discussion, I convert the preamble’s predicate phrases to nouns and paraphrase it for my interpretation of its proposal as follows:  "The good People of these" united states facilitate and encourage five civic disciplines---integrity, justice, peace, strength, and prosperity, "in order to” develop responsible human-independence “to ourselves and our Posterity.”I want to improve my interpretation by listening to other citizens and their interpretations yet would preserve the original, 1787, text, unless it is amended by the people.

It seems the Supreme Court occasionally refers to it, and no one has challenged whether or not the preamble is a legal statement. The fact that it changed this independent country from a confederation of states to a union of states deliberately managed by disciplined fellow citizens convinces me the preamble is legal. Equity in opportunity and outcome is shared by the people who collaborate for human justice.

Every citizen has equal opportunity to either trust-in and collaborate-on the goals stated in the preamble or be dissident to the agreement. I think 2/3 of citizens try somewhat to use the preamble but many do not articulate commitment to the goals. However, it seems less than 2/3 understand that “posterity” implies grandchildren. “Freedom of religion,” which fellow citizens have no means to discipline, oppresses freedom to develop integrity.

Restore the 1787 U.S.-constitutional intentions: Responsible-Human-Independence “to ourselves and our Posterity”

See my letter to Tom Fitton, President, Judicial Watch, posted on July 8, 2021 at promotethepreamble.blogspot.com. If the expressions ring true to your experience&observations, aid the reform as soon as possible. Human necessity&justice demand the reforms I suggest and you can improve them.

I don’t think so. No: I’m certain no lie is best for the liar. The white-lie-habit turns into blatant lies that invite ruin. Once a fellow-citizen has perceive you lied, you can no longer communicate with that person.

Honesty is insufficient to integrity. When a person knows, they must express, and when they don’t know, they must accept&admit.

Now, in expressing what you know, you must be kind to the other person. For example, when my doctor discovered I had lung-cancer, I asked, “Do you mean to say in a few months we could be discussing my death?” He answered, “That’s possible, but we are going to do everything we can to avoid death.” I was comforted.

When you have to tell someone you don’t trust them, you must also tell them why, so that they can correct you if your opinion is based on a false event.

A person must accept that they are a human being. That requires responsible-human-independence from all fear and meanness, such as “shielding” a fellow-citizen from negative fact or opinion.

https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-principle-of-probity? by Cyreen Jehu

Merriam-Webster Online has “adherence to the highest principles and ideals”. However, necessity&justice require adherence to physics. For example, with a tsunami warning, the individual moves to higher ground.

CIPS seems an effort to establish an ethical practice based on the law; https://www.cips.org/knowledge/procurement-topics-and-skills/sustainability/sustainable-and-ethical-procurement/probity/. However, both ethics and law are relative to the institution.

Both of the above references express probity as a synonym for integrity, in a list of seemingly positive characteristics or practices. Probity takes the constructed view of the practitioner. However, nothing equates with integrity to the-ineluctable-truth. “Ineluctable” means “not to be avoided, changed, or resisted”. Thus, probity that ignores integrity is not ethical to humankind.

Erroneously, the rule of law is constructed on legal precedent, some of which refutes the laws of physics. Tradition, or originalism, weaves a web of unsustainable error. Necessity motivates statutory justice to correct the law. Whenever humankind discovers injustice, the law must be reformed, and sustainable reform comports with the laws of physics.  

The laws of physics are ineluctable and command its offspring, such as, mathematics, chemistry, biology, psychology, imagination, religion, fiction, lies: everything. Necessity&justice motivate humankind to conduct research, in-order-to first comprehend the laws of physic then to responsibly apply them.

Attempts to speculate about physics’ unknowns entice some people to construct irresponsible practices. For example, someone speculatively asks “Why is there existence instead of nothing?” Some imagine “The-God willed it” starting competitive movements to characterize the-God, producing a multitude of doctrinal-Gods. However, there is no evidence that “Why?” is an ineluctable question. In integrity, humankind answers the question “Does the-God exist” with “We don’t know.” Yet research may lead to an answer.

Research without integrity produces ruin: integrity without research is ineffectual. Probity systematically distracts research-integrity.

I’ll answer a question you may have asked, with an example of wrongful tradition.

Some spouses may cling to the erroneous tradition “Wives submit yourselves to your husbands.” This is a false-civil rule, whereas human-beings must understand&responsibly-use the laws of physics and its offspring---chemistry, biology, philosophy, fiction, lies and more.

According to the physics, a woman produces about 13 ova per year during her fertile years. A viable ovum is subject to fertilization as a single cell. Cell division leads to an embryo, which, if implanted on the mom’s womb had the chance of gestation, delivery, and transitioning through infancy to childhood, to youth, and to adulthood. Thus, that single-cell conception is due the dignity&equity of a human person.

Only the woman has the responsibility to respond if she perceives that the ovum she carries cannot expect the dignity&equity if granted conception. The mature man treasures his responsibility to support his wife and her viable ova for life. Therefore, when he hears the message “Not to tonight, Henry” his passions probably fade so fast he could not function. Or, he might persuade the woman to make love, in which case her signals were not that strong.

The man who has no regard for the woman’s concerns for her body and the ova she regularly delivers ought to consider what it means to be a human being instead of one of the alternates: a soul, a mineral, a plant, or an animal.

Traditional morals are often dictated by the winner of a war, their magistrates, or persuasive tyrants. Morals discovered by researching the-ineluctable-evidence and how to responsibly use the governing laws are reliable. For example, the commercial-entrepreneurship that a human should choose their gender is not viable, let alone due human dignity&equity.

First, I like to distinguish the founders as the colonial leaders who from 1863 objected colonial taxation to pay British war-against-France debts, then conducted the 1774 Continental Congress, in 1776 issued the declaration of war against British impositions and for independence, in 1778 solicited military providence from France, and in 1784 ratified the 1783 Treaty of Paris. The 13 states whose free&independent people decided the confederation was not working and could not survive. The 1787 framers, who designed the world’s first republic proffering public disciplines (5), “in order to” encourage&facilitate responsible-human-independence to “ourselves and our Posterity. After 16 framers dissented or dropped out, only 39 of 55 delegates became the signers, on September 17, 1787. Thereafter, political tyrants dominated and re-established Anglo-American religion rather than 1787 civic-integrity.

In summary, the service periods are: the founders, 1763-1784; the states, 1784-1787; the framers, May 1787-September 1787; the signers September 17, 1787 until February 6, 1788 when Massachusetts ratified the U.S. Constitution on the commitment to add a British-mimicking Bill of Rights; and political tyrants, 1788 until the present under the Congressional tyranny of partnering with church in order to bemuse the entity We the People of the United States.

Lots of Americans and others are now concerned, because the tyrannies called “freedom” and “liberty” are propaganda about what the winner of war and their magistrates bestow and license to the entity We the People of the United States. The person who accepts that they are a human being demands responsible-human-independence. But so far has neither articulated nor practiced necessity&justice. Instead they have accommodated enslavement to the church-state partnership.

Read my July 8, 2021 post on A Civic People for introduction to U.S. RHI reform: humble-integrity needed for responsible-human-independence. It’s long, difficult reading yet expresses agreeable actions for an achievable better future.

https://www.quora.com/Why-arent-those-who-support-tolerance-not-more-tolerant-of-those-who-dont-support-tolerance? by Yitzchak L

I don’t know the-ineluctable-truth; my opinion is that tolerant people self-pretend goodwill and expect someone else to constrain the chaos. Intolerance of chaos is an obligation to female&male-human-being.

Every human-being has the individual power, the individual energy, and the individual authority (HIPEA) to develop their person, through the options they take. It takes about a quarter-century for the human-body to construct the wisdom parts of the brain. It takes over a quarter-century to accumulate the experiences&observations that convince the person they chose a lifestyle of responsible self-interest. The person who chooses to use HIPEA to develop the humble-integrity required for responsible-human-independence neither initiates nor accommodates injury to or from any fellow-citizen, including self and family. By taking responsibility to constrain injury, the civic-citizen provides offenders the chance to reform rather than to continue chaos unto divergence from safety on earth. Education is the key to safety&security.

These principles are evident to every mature human-being. However, some individuals choose to tolerate injury rather than constrain injurious behavior. They shirk humankind’s responsibility to provide order&peace to all life on earth. Some individuals suppress public education for personal advantage.

Often, disorder is a matter of ignorance more than intentions. For example, if I had articulated 3 decades ago that the male, human body does not complete the wisdom parts of the brain before age 25; if I had said it’s affirmed by driver’s liability insurance rates, my adventuresome son might not have died in a car crash at age 19. Stephen might soon be 50 years old and my best friend whether I’s be his or not. Grief does not forgive ignorance.

The principle of responsible-human-independence is not at all new. A Sumerian philosopher expressed it in the awareness that was common among thinkers 5,000 years ago. A Hebrew scholar reported the Sumerian suggestion in Genesis 1, only 3,000 years ago.

The homo species emerged about 7 million years ago, and Homo sapiens developed 300,000 years ago. Offspring from parents mating with older mutations died off about 10,000 years ago. Neanderthal became extinct about 40,000 years ago, yet some living persons have Neanderthal genes. Perhaps the mutation from Homo sapiens to a more responsible species is developing as I write.

My hope is that the improvement on H. sapiens will not accommodate ignorance; will be intolerant toward ignorance; will express delight with the 1000 mph earth-axial-rotation that un-hides the sun from the earth’s shadow each morning.

For the past 5,000 years (during the 7 millions years part of hominid evolved to homo sapiens 0.3 million years ago), scholars have developed constructs that distract both individuals&community from responsible-human-independence (RHI).

Three key phrases in the Anglo-American propaganda are “nature’s God”, “freedom-from”, and “liberty-to”. John-Locke political-philosophy defies a 5,000 year-old Sumerian suggestion that the-God (perhaps of creation) assigned to female&male-human-being the independent responsibility for order&peace to the other species on earth. In other words, the human individual can&must constrain chaos in their way of living.

To constrain chaos in my way of living, I can&must earn the way of living I want plus enough to pay the taxes required to support the local, state, and federal provisions to maintain public disciplines that empower RHI. It’s much like maintaining the means to escape my location if a Category-5 hurricane is headed here, or consulting flood maps in order to choose a lot on which to place our home at 38’ elevation when New Orleans could flood at 17’ Mississippi-River-elevation. Even to maintain these maps requires my tax contributions.

With this way of living---knowing the civic issues and earning the money to fund my responsible way of pursuing the happiness I want rather than someone else’s plan for me---I perceive I am free. As long as I aid the rule of law (which means actively opposing injustice I may discover even though I obey that law) and pay all taxes, including sales taxes, I perceive I am a free, fellow-citizen.

I would neither elect to take responsibility to patch my street at my property line, nor to clean the drainage system that protects my property from flooding, nor to repair my family’s shoes when needed, nor to darn our socks. I want the services fellow-citizens offer for my selection and appreciate the entrepreneurs who take the risks to offer them. I work hard to choose entrepreneurs with the honesty to develop integrity, and gladly reward them for the-good.

I think attention to necessity&justice keeps a civic citizen happily aiding law enforcement and funding civil services---without inviting constraints on freedom in order to assure independence.

Happy Responsible-Human-Independence Day, 2021 and beyond.
