Drug Abuse
The American Constitution Party upholds the right of states to restrict
access to drugs. The only legitimate role of the federal government in drug control is interdiction of drug smuggling at the
borders. Pre-conviction confiscation of property must end.
Energy
We call attention to the continuing need for a supply of energy
sufficient to sustain the nation's standard of living and its agricultural, business, and industrial activities. Private property
rights must be respected, and government should not interfere with the development of potential energy sources, including
new (ANWR) oil, natural gas, hydroelectric power, solar energy, wind-driven generators, and nuclear energy.
Euthanasia
The ACP is on record as recognizing and putting first the sanctity
of human life. Just as we oppose abortion, the taking of an innocent, pre-born life, so too do we oppose assisted suicide.
Family
We affirm that the law of the Creator establishes and
defines a marriage as the union between a man and a woman, and that same law establishes and defines a family. We further
hold that no government has the authority to establish marriage or family relations in any manner contrary to that law.

Education
The law of the Creator, as referenced in the Declaration
of Independence, assigns the authority and duty of educating children to their parents. Education should be free from all
federal government subsidies including vouchers, tax incentives, and loans. We hold that no federal agency, department, board,
or other entity should be allowed to exercise jurisdiction over any aspect of children's upbringing.
Enviroment
It is a prime responsibility of man to be prudently
productive and efficient stewards of God's natural resources. In that role, man is commanded to be fruitful, to multiply,
to replenish the earth and develop it; to turn deserts into farms and wastelands into groves. This requires a proper and continuing
dynamic balance between development and conservation, between use and preservation. The proper exercise of stewardship demands
that we avoid the extremes; that we escape the deadly hand of government confiscations; that we recognize and preserve the
right of the individual to acquire, own, and use his property in a manner that does not infringe upon the rights of others
to do likewise.
