Agency / Natural Law / Liberty

To be effective in our efforts to defend liberty we have to understand “natural law,” or what the Founders call in the Declaration of Independence, “the law of nature and of nature’s God.” If we fail to understand these basic principles, we will be easily caught off guard in supporting programs and causes that actually end up eroding liberty instead of preserving it.
