BONNEVILLE COUNTY REPUBLICAN WOMEN BELIEVE IN THE REPUBLICAN PHILOSOPHY
The Republican philosophy is firmly based upon acceptance of the concept of restraint of power:
1. The limited, delegated powers of the Federal Government set forth in the Constitution of the United States
2. The balance of power among the three coordinate branches of the Federal Government
3. The freedom of the States and their people to promote thier own welfare within the spirit and letter of the Constitution, with only such assistance or regulation by the Federal Government as may be necessary in the best interests of all the people, or essential under the Constitution.
Republican Party philosophy is rooted in a belief in individual rights and responsibilities. Maximum power to determin their destiny should lie in the hands of the people. Governmental power and resources should be kept close to the people, not monopolized from a distance by official in Washington, D.C. Local government, local education and community life belong to the people themselves.
