Every true American and Democrat knows, that according to our immortal
Declaration of Rights and our great Constitution our Government has
no rights or powers whatever except what the People have given to it
and that the source of all power is in the People and comes _from the
People to the Government_, and not vice versa, as in the Monarchic
systems which we have been fighting in the Great War. Under our
democratic system, government does not give any rights to the people,
as in monarchic systems, but the people are endowed originally and
inherently with all necessary or unalienable rights for life, liberty
and happiness, and their government exists simply or chiefly for the
purpose of protecting and enforcing these rights, not for granting or
denying rights which exist unalienably in the people themselves.
It will therefore be found that our wonderful Constitution, as well as
the Declaration, covers these fundamental points most distinctly as
to inherent, unalienable rights _retained by_ and _dwelling_ in the
people, where it states in Articles IX and X as follows:
“The enumeration in the constitution of certain rights, shall
not be construed to deny or disparage others _retained by the
people_.”
“The powers not delegated to the United States by the
Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are
_reserved_ to the States respectively, or _to the people_.”
Here we plainly see that the Constitution, as well as the
Declaration which preceded it, show that the People have a whole series
of “certain” “unalienable” “reserved” and “retained” rights, and that
these several rights, both specified and unspecified, are divinely
conferred and naturally inherent and cannot be invaded or taken away
by any government, but must be respected, defended and enforced by
all governments, and that governments exist for the chief purpose of
defending and enforcing these rights.
Now we might ask just here: Where and when have the People ever given
up their most sacred, obvious and essential right to their choice of
medical treatment and to the freedom and sanctity of their own bodies
and abandoned their bodies to the doctors to seize when they see fit to
inject with disease as in vaccination, to experiment on as they might
wish or to operate or medicate as they might choose, without any regard
to the free will, consent or desire of the patient?
As government therefore derives its “just powers” only from the
“consent of the governed,” so it is obvious that doctors can derive
their “just powers” to operate only from the _consent of the patient_;
and surely the unanswerable question in the preceding paragraph shows
clearly the utter barbarity and illegality of all medical compulsion
not only in a basic moral, constitutional and legal sense but also from
the basis of true medical ethics, which surely no true medical doctor
can attempt to deny for one moment.
