Listen to Brian Peckford on Bret Weinstein’s Dark Horse. While discussing the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, he makes frequent reference and comparison to the US Constitution and Bill of Rights. Bret talks about how extraordinarily far-sighted were the authors.
The “consent of the governed”, aka the will that “we the people” express, has to be a central concept in any democratic system. Government has no legitimacy without that consent and the accountability it entails, yet here we are, suffering various forms of tyranny.
The mandate of the people has often been abused by various authoritarianisms, not only by Communism. Yet “We the People” is still the starting point and legitimacy for any antidote to abusive power, anywhere in the world.
