Guarantees to the rights to life, liberty, and property are enshrined in our founding documents. Though the political landscape is constantly shifting one way or another, and we may not always agree with the direction our government is going at any given time, I still believe that our system—a Constitutional republic with balances of power between its own branches and between local and larger governments—is one of the finest examples of how a country should be run. For this, we should all be grateful.
