In September our Constitution marked 230 years, yet most Americans are clueless that it limits the government to interfere in our private lives, thereby giving citizens greater freedom to create personal wealth and ensures we live in a republic, not a dictatorship or monarchy, and have freedom, liberty and justice.

Our education system has failed teaching Constitutional heritage. Annenberg Public Policy Center’s poll found only 26 percent can name the three branches of government and 33 percent couldn’t even name one. A third surveyed couldn’t name any rights guaranteed under the First Amendment.

Intercollegiate Studies Institute surveyed 28,000 undergrads about literacy and Constitutional rights. Many scored 54 percent, or an F.

Yet those who are ignorant call America greedy, racist or fascist, not knowing what our Founding Fathers intended for all citizens.

The three branches of government are executive, legislative and judicial but, over the past century, Congress has delegated more of its power to unaccountable agencies then failed to exercise proper oversight, creating a fourth branch of government run by unelected officials; over 40 agencies were created, ike the IRS, DOJ, FBI, CIA, EPA, NLRB, FCC, TSA and many others. Congress writes laws with deliberate gaps in meaning, permitting federal agencies to write rules and regulations to fill those gaps.

Notably, Obamacare, where the law was so poorly drafted it couldn’t be understood without the Department of Health and Human Services, and the IRS had enforcement authority through agents to mandate compliance. Now the IRS and HHS are supervising up to 20 percent of our nation’s economy.

As HHS writes and rewrites its rules, doctors struggle to keep up and many drop out.
