How the Courts and Bureaucracy Destroy the Constitution

The U.S. Constitution was originally designed to divide the powers of the federal government among its three different branches.

The 10th Amendment to the Constitution went further and reserved to the States respectively, or to the people "The powers not delegated to the United States." This separation of powers was intended to prevent a consolidation of power that would inevitably lead to the end of representative government.

As founded, the United States was a constitutional republic in which the people ruled through their elected representatives in Congress which was given "The legislative power" in Article I of the Constitution.

The creation of numerous regulatory agencies in the past 90 years has also diluted legislative power.

Rather than take on tough policy decisions, members of Congress delegate legislative power to unelected bureaucrats.

The passage of the Civil Service Act in the late 19th century has similarly proven to be corrosive of the executive power given to the President by Article II of the Constitution.

Some people believe it will require a convention called by the States under Article V of the Constitution to propose amendments to the Constitution.
