Protecting the country does not erase the constitutional limits on government. The Constitution Party opposes using terrorism or national security to justify violations of constitutional rights or expansions of federal power beyond constitutional limits.
We support the protections of the Fourth and Fifth Amendments, including safeguards against unreasonable searches and seizures and deprivation of life, liberty, or property without due process. Security measures must respect these rights.
The party also rejects using the war on terrorism to justify permanent foreign occupations, attacks on countries that have not injured us, or open-ended commitments of taxpayer money to foreign governments.
For the adopted position, read our 2024 National Platform. Further reading: the national party’s Terrorism and Personal Liberty page.
