Sure snrub. Charlie (fictitious name to protect the innocent)owned a simple 3 bedroom house in a subdivision bordering a bayou. He wanted to build a fence across the back of his yard. Because it was near a wetland (bayou ) it had hydric soil. He dug postholes (dredge and fill material)to put up the fence. EPA told him no. You can guess the rest. Check on Section 404 permits, wetlands determination - hydric soils or dredge and fill material. Also a source is EPA abuse.

Legal history.

Our founders at risk of life made a Declaration of Independence.
the concept set the basis for our constitution.

Here is the idea - We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government....

The Constitution picks up this declaration and provides a Bill of Rights that guarantees each individual with rights "unalienable rights endowed by their Creator ". As these rights are a gift from the creator these rights can not be taken away by a majority vote ,the Pres , Congress or anyone else. They are the cornerstone to freedom.
