Summary

Does the government exist to serve us or to master us?

If the government exists to serve us, and if freedom is part of our humanity, how can the government take freedom from us?  Is human freedom in America a myth, or is it reality? The United States of America was born out of a bloody revolt against tyranny. Yet almost from its inception, the government here has suppressed liberty. Within It Is Dangerous To Be Right When The Government Is Wrong, New York Times best-selling author and judge Andrew P. Napolitano lays out the case that the US government, whose first obligation is to protect and preserve individual freedoms, actually does neither. 

The judge offers eye-opening, sometimes frightening examples of how, time and again, the human liberties we are guaranteed in the Constitution are vanishing before our eyes. He asks: where does freedom come from? How can government in America exercise power that the people have not given to it?What forces have collaborated to destroy personal freedom? This back-to-basics on freedom addresses hard questions: 

  • What is a Constitution, and do we still have one?
  • What are the limits to government power in a free society? 
  • Why does the government attack, rather than defend, our rights? 
  • If our rights are inalienable, how can the government take them away?
  • Do we really own any private property? 

America is at a fundamental crossroads. There are stirrings in the land and a cry that "enough is enough". The stories within this 2011 audiobook are told to help reawaken the natural human thirst for freedom - to point out government interference with natural order and the disastrous consequences that follow.
