The 5,000 Year Leap by Cleon Skousen

Principle 1

The only reliable basis for sound government and just human relations is Natural Law.

A free people cannot survive under a republican constitution unless they remain virtuous and morally strong.

Principle 3

The most promising method of securing a virtuous and morally stable people is to elect virtuous leaders.

Without religion the government of a free people cannot be maintained.

Principle 5

constitution.

Principle 19

Only limited and carefully defined powers should be delegated to government, all others being retained in the people.

Principle 20

Efficiency and dispatch require government to operate according to the will of the majority, but constitutional provisions must be made

to protect the rights of the minority.

Strong local self-government is the keystone to preserving human freedom.

Principle 22

A free people should be governed by law and not by the whims of men.

Principle 23

Principle 24

A free people will not survive unless they stay strong.

Principle 25

“Peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all nations–entangling alliances with none.” — Thomas Jefferson

Principle 26

The core unit which determines the strength of any society is the family; therefore, the government should foster and protect its

integrity.

Principle 27

The burden of debt is as destructive to freedom as subjugation by conquest.

Principle 28

The United States has a manifest destiny to be an example and a blessing to the entire human race.
