Lincoln was up to the time the greatest traitor to the constitution and the nation. He had to die for his crimes against the south and even the north. People talk of how the south would have avoided reconstruction and returned to normal had he lived that’s simply not true, normal was gone. Booth was a patriot in my opinion, of course I’m jaded as I have ancestors that fought and died in every theater of the war.
Sic Semper Tyrannis!
Completely and utterly false. Lincoln was the one person who acted in accord with the Constitution and the intent of the Founders.
The Constitution obliquely references the Human Right of Freedom of Association in the 1st Amendment right of assembly.
"Consent of the governed" is a phrase found in the Declaration of Independence. That is a direct reference to the human right of association.
Whether it's in the Constitution or not, Freedom of Association is a human right. For instance, can the Gov't force you to marry someone? Can it compel you to join Rotary International?
