I reverence the Constitution of the United States as a sacred document. To me its words are akin to the revelations of God, for God has placed his stamp of approval on the Constitution of this land.

Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.

A constitution, in the American sense of the word, is a written instrument by which the fundamental powers of the government are established, limited, and defined, and by which these powers are distributed among several departments, for their more safe and useful exercise, for the benefit of the body politic.

The Constitution provides for freedom of religion, not freedom from religion.

Next to the Bible, I think the Constitution is the most important document ever written.

Our Constitution recognises no other power than that of persuasion, for enforcing religious observances.

This is a time for a national conversation. A conversation about the document that binds us as a nation and a people. That document, of course, is the Constitution.

The Constitution was the expression not only of a political faith, but also of political fears. It was wrought both as the organ of the national interest and as the bulwark of certain individual and local rights.

Unfortunately, people are re-interpreting the Constitution as a living document, and it's not. It's a solid-based document and it shouldn't be played with.

The Constitution is a document that should only be amended with great caution.
