PROTECTING THE CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS OF OZAUKEE COUNTY CITIZENS

WHEREAS, the United States Constitution serves as the fundamental document that establishes the workings and role of the federal government and defines the limitations of said government with respect to its inability to infringe upon the rights and liberties of all people; and 

WHEREAS, the United States Constitution forms a more perfect union, establishes justice, insures domestic tranquility, provides for the common defense, promotes the general welfare, and secures the blessings of liberty for United States citizens and their posterity, and 

WHEREAS, the Bill of Rights added the first ten amendments to the United States Constitution in order to reaffirm specific guarantees of personal freedoms, clearly define limitations on the federal government’s power, and make explicit declarations that all rights and powers not granted to the United States government are reserved to the states or to the people; and 

WHEREAS, the Constitution of the State of Wisconsin which was ratified in 1848 contains a Declaration of Rights which states in Article I: “All people are born equally free and independent, and have certain inherent rights; among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness; to secure these rights, governments are instituted, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed;” and 

WHEREAS, throughout the history of and subsequent amendments to the United States Constitution and the Constitution of the State of Wisconsin, the foundation of liberties, freedoms and inalienable rights has endured; and 

WHEREAS, each member of the Ozaukee County Board of Supervisors took an Oath of Office swearing to support the United States Constitution and the Constitution of the State of Wisconsin. 

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the Ozaukee County Board of Supervisors that no agent, employee or official of Ozaukee County in his or her official capacity shall knowingly participate, whether by act or by omission, in conduct that infringes upon any individual’s rights, as expressed by the United States Constitution and the Constitution of the State of Wisconsin.
