The Bill of Rights, the Constitutional Republic and Isaiah 10: 1-2
Historian Quentin Skinner in The Foundations of Modern Political
Thought, 1978, goes over the influence of several Scotch
and English Christians, such as John Knox and Samuel Rutherford, on John
Locke and the late 18th century American political ideology behind the creation of the Constitutional Republic.
John Locke's book, Two Treatises of Government, according to Skinner, influenced Thomas Jefferson in the Declaration of Independence, and had an influence on James Madison and other Founding Fathers.
Isaiah 10: 1-2: "Woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees, and that write grievousness which they have prescribed. To turn aside the needy from judgment, and to take away the right of the poor of my people, that widows may be their prey, and that they may rob the fatherless."
There are some other verses in the Old Testament about the right of the people. Lamentations 3: 35 and Malachi 3: 5 also talk about the rights of the people.
John Knox and Samuel Rutherford in Scotland, created, from scripture, a view that supported the right of the common people to oppose a totalitarian government, which does not respect the rights of the people. These ideas
of Knox and Rutherford were secularized by John Locke and
Thomas Jefferson made them into the Declaration of Independence, one of
our founding documents which does briefly state a political ideology.
But now in 2017, Political Correctness, which comes out of the Marxism of the Frankfurt School, makes use of the manipulation of the people by race, gender and other stereotypes. The Marxist Left in 2017 is trying to discredit the patriot and populist movement by associating it with white supremacy and racism.
In the use of race stereotypes, for example,to manipulate attitudes and behavior, leftist political correctness makes salient - outanding in public perception - a one dimensional, simplified dialectic or opposition of two extreme positions, and tries to ignore the complexity of several other issues that go along with the race issue. Social psychologist Clinton De Soto's predilection for single orderings (1961) concept can be used to help understand what is going on in this over-simplified dialectic.
The concept of predilection for single orderings and its support in empirical data shows that many people are unable to deal with a complex set of oppositions. For example, the belief that Black Slavery was tolerated, by Southerners, in opposition to the belief that All Slavery is Bad is a single ordering, that most people can understand.
But if people have to deal with a set of oppositions that are more complex than such a single ordering many people cannot deal with that.
Marxist Left Political correctness is trying to use racism to help manipulate the people to accept an ideology which begins to oppose parts of the Bill of Rights. The Bill of Rights was added to the Constitution in 1791, after being created by James Madison and his Committee in the House. If the Left is successful in defeating a part of the Bill of Rights, then it will go on to try and defeat more of the rights of the Constitutional Amendments
Racism would not work at all to defeat the Bill of Rights unless another concept of social psychology was in operation. This is making talking points within arguments of the Marxist Left in its use of the dialectic salient by the mainstream media which otherwise would not stand out in the public's awareness. What stands out in the public's awareness - and not what is reality - is what counts in 2017.
The fact that the public approval ratings of the mainstream media are low and that many people are aware of the "Fake News" of the mainstream media may not allow the Marxist Left to be successful in associating white supremacy and racism with support for the Individual Rights within Madison's Bill of Rights.
The Bill of Rights includes Freedom of religion, speech, press, assembly, and petition, the Right to keep and bear arms, freedom from unreasonable searches and seizures, Right to due process of law, freedom from self-incrimination, double jeopardy, Rights of accused persons, right to a speedy trial, Right of trial by jury in civil cases, Freedom from excessive bail, protection from cruel and unusual punishments. and powers reserved to the states.
Supreme Court decisions have made more explicit the right to due process in the 5th and 14th Amendments. The 5th Amendment states that “…no person shall …be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law.” Supreme Court decisions have established a procedural and a substantive right to due process.
The right to due process has been made explicit in the doctrine that the law itself must be written in such a way that a defendant can defend himself against a charge brought under a law that is too vague or only describes a subjective feeling of being wronged. The law itself must be written in an explicit and clear way so that in criminal cases an objective type of action becomes the focus of guilt or innocence, and not just a subjective feeling of having been wronged.
To the extent that government, media, education,religion, etc is taken over by a faction making use of a totalitarian ideology, all of these specific individual rights can be threatened. And so in Isaiah 10: 1-2 "the right of the poor of my people" is taken away. The rights of people come from God.
