Why the Left Hates the Bill of Rights...and We Love it - CPAC FL 2021

Utah Senator Mike Lee speaks at CPAC Florida 2021 on the purpose of the Bill of Rights for the government and the people. Lee advances that the Bill of Rights is meant to protect the people from the government by restricting the government’s authority. It acts as a safeguard against government tyranny, and thus, ensures freedoms for individual Americans. The responsibility of protecting these rights, however, falls to the people. The pandemic has revealed what happens when the people become lax in advocating for their constitutional freedoms. The government wastes no time in taking advantage of the opportunity to extend its power. The protection of the people’s rights in the constitution now requires even greater effort, and Lee compels Americans to take up that fight.
