“Through drug laws Congress is attempting to

page 11
• John Adams, who helped draft the Constitution and later became our second president,
declared, “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly
inadequate to govern of any other.” This means that any and all just laws must be based on
moral considerations. Our elected representatives are therefore bound to legislate morality.
• Morality is about right and wrong, and that’s what laws put into legal form. All laws legislate
morality (even speed limits imply a moral moral judgement). Everyone in politics —
conservatives, libertarians and liberals — is trying in some degree to legislate morality. The
complaint then, is not whether or not Congress is attempting to legislate morality, but whose
morality is Congress attempting to legislate?
• The expectation that Congress will make these moral judgments comes from the Constitution,
which decreed that a majority of the citizens, through the representatives elected to do our
bidding, were given the right, the duty and responsibility, to make laws that would ensure
domestic tranquility, defend our borders, and promote a safe and wholesome environment
for us all. These are all moral judgments.
• The Constitution also lays out the structure by which these moral judgments will be made.
The principal of majority rule, the balance of power between the president, the; judiciary;
and the Congress, and even the bi-cameral structure of Congress all work to provide an
effective mechanism to legislate morality that is consistent with the desires—and therefore
we must assume the morals—of a majority of Americans.
