the Real Maverick: ORAM for Congress

A. The U.S. Constitution and its basic seven principles:

​

"1. Popular sovereignty, meaning rule by the people
2. Republicanism, meaning the right to vote for representatives
3. Federalism meaning power is shared between the national and state governments
4. Separation of powers into branches that make, enforce or interpret laws
5. Balance of Power - controls (checks) can be made on the other branches
6. Limited government - everyone is bound by the US Constitution
7. Individual rights - personal freedoms are guaranteed by the Bill of Rights"

​

From 7 Principles of the Constitution.

​

B. "Rule of law, the mechanism, process, institution, practice, or norm that supports the equality of all citizens before the law, secures a nonarbitrary form of government, and more generally prevents the arbitrary use of power. Arbitrariness is typical of various forms of despotism, absolutism, authoritarianism, and totalitarianism. Despotic governments include even highly institutionalized forms of rule in which the entity at the apex of the power structure (such as a king, a junta, or a party committee) is capable of acting without the constraint of law when it wishes to do so."

D. True facts - there are no Republican facts or Democratic facts, there are only true verifiable facts.

​

• Facts are based on observation. A fact is universal in character, therefore true.

• Opinions are an assumption or a belief that cannot be substantiated by facts.

​

The distinction is important because the solution to most problems arises from the facts.
