We in the United States undoubtedly have the best form of government that has ever been devised in the history of mankind.
Some of our Founding Fathers certainly were geniuses who understood the nature of government – and also understood human nature. They took both into consideration in writing the Constitution.
But while many of the authors of our Constitution were extraordinary men, are we today, as heirs of the Constitution, up to preserving the ideals they declared?
After all, “we, the people,” aren’t perfect. We don’t always make good and unselfish decisions. We don’t always elect the best and wisest leaders to run our government. That’s why we need our Constitution – and should abide strictly by it!
The Constitution was written to protect the people and our freedom, by limiting the power of government. Some powers are specifically delegated to the federal government – but all others are reserved to the states or the people.
