Governments, by their nature, limit freedoms

We recognize that the Constitution was primarily written with a basic premise in mind: governments, by their nature, limit freedoms. In the best of circumstances, they ensure one person's activities do not infringe on another's freedom. In the worst of circumstances they limit freedoms to serve the interests of the ruling class, whoever that may be. The Constitution acts as a brake on the consolidation of power in the hands of the government and to protect those freedoms that we are born with.
