Constitutional government, as designed by the framers, will survive only with a righteous people.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
In a constitutional democracy the moral content of law must be given by the morality of the framer or legislator, never by the morality of the judge.
Government must continue to live within its means.
It is foolishly thought by some that democratical constitutions will not, cannot, last; that the States will quarrel with each other; that a king, or at least a nobility, are indispensable for the prosperity of a nation.
We don't need a weakened government but a strong government that would take responsibility for the rights of the individual and care for the society as a whole.
A resilient people cherishing liberty and equality and the rule of law will endure.
Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.
The people under our system, like the king in a monarchy, never dies.
Democracy is worth dying for, because it's the most deeply honorable form of government ever devised by man.
Government is necessary for our survival. We need government in order to survive. The Founding Fathers created a special place for government. It is called the Constitution.
The people will save their government, if the government itself will allow them.
