Public commenter urges citizens to guard the Constitution
Summary
Dianna Hardy of Brigham used the public-comment period to urge citizens to study the Constitution and warned against government overreach, citing the Federalist Papers and historical examples.
During the public-comment portion of the meeting, Dianna Hardy of Brigham addressed commissioners about constitutional limits on government power and the role of citizens as guardians of liberty.
Hardy referenced the Federalist Papers and argued that the Constitution should be understood through its history and founding documents rather than as a continually evolving text. "We, the people, are to be the watchmen," she said, and urged officials and residents to read and share historical documents to preserve liberty. Her remarks were framed as civic exhortation rather than a request for a specific county action.
There was no board discussion that altered county policy as a result of the comment; the commission thanked Hardy for her remarks and moved on to adjournment.
