Hugh Hewitt

I was driving a shuttle van tonight--7-3-2015--- and listening to Hewitt and his constitutional scholar.

The professor pointed out that under the French, under Napoleon and Rousseau the general will of the majority of the people is the way that society wandered. The desires and preferences of minorities, whether individuals or assembled groups, are only what the majority allows. That is good and preferable, and all value statements are conditional, relative and isolated to the expressed political will of the majority of people of that generation.

The precious, rare American alternative is not against the general will, but the individual will, the liberty preferences of the private citizen, are paramount. There is nothing torpid or binding upon this expressed will of the individual, the ultimate minority.

The individual preference is divinely sanctioned through natural law, the decree of the Author of nature.

Such individual worth and preferred state of political existence as a separate and free person is divinely condoned and blessed as a natural right, the social and political unwinding of expressed natural law.

This individual liberty is not contingent but is divinely authored and sanctioned. From God, it is written as a natural law to be followed and not messed with socially and politically.

Extended a bit farther under Mavellonialism, is is logical and foreseeable that the life of the individual, a lawful anarchist and capitalist under constitutional republicanism,  is divinely inspired and supported.
