Arguments for Bills of Rights -- Part 4 of 4 -- Video
In the fourth part of this four-part video presentation, Mr. Stolyarov explains that the same reasons which justify a bill of rights also necessitate a series of restrictive clauses to be written into a constitution for a free society. These restrictive clauses would prevent the government from exercising certain powers, even if those powers do not directly infringe on individual rights, so long as the exercise of these powers creates a potential for individual rights to be abused at the hands of the government. Governmental printing and borrowing of money are examples of powers that need to be kept off-limits to the governments. Article II of The Freecharter, Mr. Stolyarov’s proposed constitution for a new free society, contains 39 such restrictive clauses.
