One reason why I became a Libertarian is because of its tenacity in following the principle of limited government. During the Presidential Republican debates in 2008, Ron Paul was the only candidate who consistently referred to the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution to defend his position. It was so refreshing to hear a candidate mention these documents. I only wish more politicians, statesmen and even voters referred to them on a consistent basis. By reviewing the Constitutional Basics, by Roger Pilon, I hope you are intrigued to continue studying this priceless documents and expect our elected officials to actually use them to make decisions best for the people.

Philosophy of Liberty
Libertarianism is the belief that all government powers are derived from the governed; that is you and me.
That government is limited by the people, not people by the government.
This short, animated movie is a terrific intro to the Philosophy...
English Version
"Libertarianismo es la creencia en el derecho supremo de cada individuo. Es la creencia que el gobierno es limitado por la gente; no es que la gente es limitada por el gobierno. Es la creencia que todo de los poderes del estado vienen de la gente; es que tú y yo. Que no poder puede ser dado al estado que los individuos no tienen. Que los derechos y poderes delegados al gobierno son retenidos por cada individuo. Que es la obligación del individuo a respetar los derechos de los de más y defender la constitución contra todos de los enemigos, extranjeros y domesticos."
