16. What in the nature of mankind caused America’s Founders to carefully define, separate, and limit powers within the Constitution?
It is a Biblical understanding of the nature of God and mankind supplemented by the critical study of all known societies and their governmental forms. The U.S. governmental formation acknowledges the Biblical Almighty God as the "Creator" and as "Nature's God"; we are supposed to be governed by laws and not men; and said laws are made by the people, for the people, and of the people by their representatives. Separation of duties prevents corruption.
17. The founders established pure democracy in the Constitution because they believed that it is the best form of government to ensure the safety and equitable treatment of all citizens.
Strongly Disagree
18. Based on the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution, please arrange the following entities, starting with the highest source of authority, and continue the list in descending order of authority, skipping any that do not apply: Academia, Congress, Constitution, God, Industry, Media, Professional Sports, Supreme Court, Voters.

19. Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I am the adopted son of the God of Abraham. I serve the one true God whom made Heaven and Earth. The Spirit of God lives in me. God sent His only begotten Son as a perfect example of how we should submit to God and as a perfect sacrifice and redeemer so that my sins would be forgiven and that I could accept and follow Jesus as a member of His Church serving our Heavenly Father, following the Commandments and the Golden Rule. Our Nation was formed by His Church, and without God, there is nothing that unites us. Only God is God and worthy of worship. It is natural and not religious to worship God. Religion is of man and not of God. That is why we are not a theocracy in which a man assumes the place or honor of God. And, that is why the government cannot promote any religious doctrines or interfere with any of the peoples religious doctrines.
