We also reaffirm that civil governments must be strictly limited in their powers to intrude upon the persons and private property of individual citizens, in particular, that no place be searched and no thing be seized, except upon proof of probable cause that a crime has been committed and the proper judicial warrant issued.
We assert our opposition to using Eminent Domain to take private property, through the force of government, from one private party to give to another. Pro-Second Amendment The right to bear arms is inherent in the right of self defense, defense of the family, and defense against tyranny, conferred on the individual and the community by our Creator to safeguard life, liberty, and property, as well as to help preserve the independence of the nation.
The right to keep and bear arms is guaranteed by the Second Amendment to the Constitution; it may not properly be infringed upon or denied. The Constitution Party of North Carolina upholds the right of the citizen to keep and bear arms. We oppose attempts to prohibit ownership of guns by law-abiding citizens, and stand against all laws which would require the registration of guns or ammunition.
National Sovereignty The United States is properly a free and sovereign republic which should strive to live in peace with all nations, without interfering in their internal affairs, and without permitting their interference in ours. We are, therefore, unalterably opposed to entangling alliances — via treaties, or any other form of commitment which compromise our national sovereignty, or commit us to intervention in foreign wars.
To this end, we shall: — Steadfastly oppose American participation in any form of world government organization, including any world court under United Nations auspices; — Call upon the President, and Congress, to terminate United States membership in the United Nations, and its subsidiary organizations, and terminate U. In this connection we specifically denounce the agreement establishing the proposed Free Trade Area of the Americas FTAA and any other such trade agreements, either bilateral or regional in nature.
All treaties must be subordinate to the Constitution, since the Constitution is the only instrument which empowers and limits the federal government. American troops must serve only under American commanders, not those of the United Nations or foreign countries.
We deny the assumption that civil government has the authority to set wages and prices; so doing is inconsistent with principles of individual liberty and the free market. Capital Punishment The Constitution Party of North Carolina, being pro-life from conception to natural death, believes in defending all innocent life. Nevertheless, the innocence of life ends when that individual criminally violates the right to live of another, and therefore punishment to both prevent future harm and to deter others from committing the same heinous crime is just.
When all doubt has been removed through the submission of ample evidence, and the jury finds that the individual is guilty of murder and has convicted him of the same, we support the right of a jury to use capital punishment. It is important that any individual convicted of murder and sentenced to death be allowed to appeal their case within a reasonable time to a higher court, therefore we strongly believe in obliging the appeals court system to hear all appeals brought before the court in cases where a jury has sentenced the individual to death.
Capital punishment should be carried out within sixty days, after all appeals have been heard, in order to prevent the waste of taxpayer funds and to deter others from committing the same crime. Education The estimable responsibility to educate our youth should and does ultimately lie with the parents and no government should infringe on the parent s right to educate their children in the method they see best or prevent them from enrolling their child in the school of their choice as they may see fit for the future of their posterity.
In order to allow and promote the education of our state s youth and see improvement in the state s educational system we strongly believe that parents who wish their children to be educated outside of the government run school system, whether home school, private, religious or otherwise ought to receive equitable tax relief.
Election Reform The Constitution Party of North Carolina steadfastly believes that the right to vote, a right that is of inestimable importance for the preservation of liberty and our Republic, must be secured to all constitutionally qualified citizens regardless of the individual s race, gender, religion or political affiliation. As of September , it was a ballot-qualified party in Colorado.
As of November , there were state-level ballot-qualified political party affiliates in the United States. These two parties account for of the total state-level parties. Although there are dozens of political parties in the United States, only certain parties qualify to have the names of their candidates for office printed on election ballots. In order to qualify for ballot placement, a party must meet certain requirements that vary from state to state.
For example, in some states, a party may have to file a petition in order to qualify for ballot placement. In other states, a party must organize around a candidate for a specific office; that candidate must, in turn, win a percentage of the vote in order for the party to be granted ballot status.
In still other states, an aspiring political party must register a certain number of voters. The number of ballot-qualified political parties fluctuates as parties gain or lose qualified status. In addition, some states distinguish between major parties and minor parties. Specific differences between major and minor parties differ from state to state. For example, in all states, major parties are granted access to primary elections. Some states, however, do not permit minor parties to participate in primary elections.
Consequently, minor party candidates in these states can run only in general elections.
