Introducing Dorchester County’s independent candidate for County Council – David Beverley II

Life, Liberty, Independence – the ideals of a truly Constitutionalist candidate.

I would like the residents of Dorchester County Maryland to know I’m a Constitutionalist. Our Constitution is the most important social contract we have that acknowledges the authority of the people, while setting limits on governmental powers. The founding fathers of this great nation lived according to the ideals of an independent mind-set of natural law and common sense, that our nation and Dorchester County leaders specifically, would be wise to lead by, today.

I am often asked: “What is a Constitutionalist?”

“A Constitutionalist is someone who understands that every human being has a set of basic rights, and that those rights come from God – our Creator, NOT the government. Our government’s Constitution, at the Federal level or the State level – does not “give us rights”. The Constitution sets limits on governmental powers and lists the rights that THE PEOPLE GIVE to the governing powers.“

The statement above is not just a matter of opinion – it is law. The Maryland State Constitution, Article 1, states that:

“That all Government of right originates from the People, is founded in compact only, and instituted solely for the good of the whole; and they have, at all times, the inalienable right to alter, reform or abolish their Form of Government in such manner as they may deem expedient“

I believe that a desire for the same independent spirit and the ideals of liberty, still live on within most Dorchester County residents today, as exemplified by the stories of County leaders I mention in the other areas of this website. We can still exercise our independent ideals, just as in the past –  when WE THE PEOPLE are unhappy with our current state of affairs, we have an opportunity to elect  – liberty and Independent minded leaders, that will right our listing nation, by returning the power back to the individual and to a local community government.   When we see something wrong or unjust, we have an opportunity and a responsibility to do something about it, to affect a better life for our posterity. This can only be done properly – at a local level because “top-down government” has never worked to serve the people.
