The Reason Doctrine: Reclaiming Truth in Law and Liberty

In a time when law is twisted to serve ideology rather than justice, The Reason Doctrine arrives as a bold corrective. Authored by Mark C. Bashaw and Brandon N. Hayes, this constitutional framework reasserts reason—not politics—as the bedrock of governance.

At its core, The Reason Doctrine declares that no law, policy, or court ruling is legitimate unless it aligns with the six original objectives of the U.S. Constitution: Union, Justice, Domestic Tranquility, Common Defense, General Welfare, and the Blessings of Liberty. These are not vague ideals—they are fixed lawful standards, and reason is the only proper tool for interpreting and applying them.

Why does this matter? Because without reason, governance collapses into tyranny. From COVID-19 mandates to compelled speech and weaponized federal agencies, we have witnessed firsthand what happens when law is severed from logic, morality, and truth.

The Reason Doctrine offers a remedy—rooting lawful interpretation in natural law, truth-testing, and moral reciprocity. It demands that government decisions pass rigorous tests of consistency, evidence, and justice.

More than a theory, this doctrine is a call to action for citizens, judges, and lawmakers: return to reason or continue down the path of destruction.

As Jefferson warned, “Man once surrendering his reason… is the sport of every wind.” The Reason Doctrine is the rudder to steer us back.
