The American Anti-Federalist Party as the Party of The Populace, or the People’s Party moves forward with the conscientious actions of reiterating and recreating a more perfect paradigm of The United States of America as envisioned by the Founding Fathers known as the “Anti-Federalists”. As we today know they are the ones who stood up for the Rights of the Populace and insisted the “Bill of Rights” be drawn up and the Rights of The States and The People be enumerated and not infringed upon nor limited. We see clearly that had this not have been done the People would have lost all rights and control long ago. If you have read any of the History of Anti-Federalism here you already understand the Founding Fathers were divided into two schools of thought and after debating the question for some time The “Federalist Founding Fathers” carried the day and their model of Governance was put forth with the New Document “The Bill of Rights” required by the Anti-Federalist Founding Fathers in order to ratify the Constitution, securing those certain Rights that were endowed upon them by their creator to which the God Of Nature intended them, “the People” as collective inhabitants known as “the States”.
It is therefor the goal of this Party of the Populace to reinstate the Power vested in the People and the States in order to recreate a more functional model of the “Government of Consent”. As was stated in our most solid cornerstone document, The Declaration of Independence:
“That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness.”
As to the intention of the Declaration, Jefferson later wrote, was not saying some thing new, but, “to place before mankind the common sense of the subject, in terms so plain and firm as to command their assent … Neither aiming at originality of principles or sentiments, nor yet copied from any particular and previous writing, it was intended to be an expression of the American mind.”
Much the same can be said of the Charter & By Laws of The American Anti-Federalist Party. What we set forth to do here is not create but recreate. that long established governments should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.
