This is the blueprint, people! This is the reason for the new nation that had
broken away from the bonds of England and the
specification
for that new
form of government, including those areas where government has no "say".

Foundations
The Declaration of
Independence declared to the world why the people of America had
decided to form their own sovereign nation.
The Constitution
explained what form the new government would take.
The Bill of Rights
drew explicit limits on government, in case future leaders failed to understand
what powers WERE granted to government or should said leaders become corrupt and
begin to assume powers that infringed on individual rights...
These documents then form the basis of the type of government we know as a
Republic, the American Way.
Also: see
Constitutional Conflict to see how our founding principles are being
subverted by our own government.
