Our forefathers got it; they got it, man. They took godly principles and they put them into action, and they developed our Constitution - the land of freedom where each man is accountable and responsible for his actions.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The Constitution of the United States, like all systems of government which are permanent, had its origin in the history and necessities of the people through whose instrumentality and for whose benefit it was formed.
America was founded to be a beacon of liberty, particularly religious liberty. The framers of our Constitution sought to preserve religious liberty to such an extent that they made it the first right protected in the Bill of Rights.
This foundational principle - that human beings derive their rights from God, rather than from the State, or any other source - is what made America different.
Our Founding Fathers crafted a constitutional Republic for the first time in the history of the world because they were shaping a form of government that would not have the failures of a democracy in it, but had the representation of democracy in it.
We got our freedom and our liberty from the Creator, from God. That is a lesson conservatives have to remember.
Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.
The framers of our Constitution meant we were to have freedom of religion, not freedom from religion.
Our founders got it right when they wrote in the Declaration of Independence that our rights come from nature and nature's God, not from government.
The fundamentals that founded our great nation included the freedom of speech and religion.
Our Constitution exists to secure individual freedom, the essential condition of human flourishing. Liberty is not provided by government; liberty preexists government. It's our natural birthright, not a gift from the sovereign. Our founders upended things and divided power to enshrine a promise, not a process.
