Power comes from the people, and the people are the ultimate source of authority in their government.

People in government are the servants of the people. They are not the masters of the people.

All people are political equals. No person's vote counts more than another's.

The people delegate their government. They consent to be governed only so long as those in power fulfill their responsibilities. They can take back those.

The purposes of government are to protect the people's rights to life, liberty, and property, and to promote the common good.

A nation's constitution should be approved by the people and serve as a higher law that everyone must obey, including the people and those serving in their government.
