Center for Constitutional Responsibility Inc

EIN 92-1127894 • 501(c)3 • Arlington, VA

Profile

The center for constitutional responsibility is a 501(c)(3) organization that is dedicated to preserving the separation of powers and the accountability of the political branches at all levels of government in the united states. In particular, the center is concerned with the increasingly common delegation to unaccountable private parties of the executive's exclusive power to enforce public law to politically unaccountable private parties. This delegation - which deputizes the plaintiffs' bar and private citizens to act as roving, unaccountable "private attorneys general" - is a threat to democratic accountability and the cohesiveness of our union. Laws, especially on contentious topics, should be enforced by government officials that answer to the constitution and the people. The center aims to prevent the unwise and unconstitutional delegation of sovereign enforcement authority.
