What in the nature of mankind caused America’s Founders to carefully define, separate, and limit powers in the Constitution?
They wanted a limited Federal government than only got involved in things authorized by the enumerated powers in the U.S. Constitution. They guarded against of having a king or dictator by creating three co equal branches of government.

Additional comment from candidate:
I will continue to vote on legislation the same way I have since I was elected. I always vote no on tax increases, I always vote yes on the right to own and bear arms, and I always vote pro life. I believe that state budget problems are a result of over spending, not under taxing. I will continue to support public sector pension reform. I will continue to fight against the over reaching federal government on things like Obamacare and Common Core.
