Badnarik believes that most of what the federal government does is unconstitutional. Noting the preamble to the Constitution, he says We the People created the government, and the government is supposed to work for the people. He says a large cause of actions otherwise is people's misunderstanding of the difference between rights and privileges. Claiming them direct opposites, he says We the People have rights while We the People grant government privileges.

Following, Badnarik outlines several ways the government infringes on the people's rights. Beginning with the first amendment, he is critical of "free speech zone" on college campuses and at the Democratic Party, explaining how it is completely opposite the idea of free speech as a right. Similarly, he says conceal-carry gun permits turns a second-amendment right into a privilege. Finally, he criticizes the Patriot Act, saying (a) Congress didn't even read it before signing it, (b) it violates the fourth amendment, and (c) it suspends habeas corpus, violating the fifth and sixth amendments--which offer protection of the rights during a trial, a time when he says they are needed the most.

Badnarik concludes by discussing libertarianism and the Libertarian Party. He discusses the wasted vote argument, arguing that voting for the lesser of two evils is still voting for evil.
