16. What in the nature of mankind caused America’s Founders to carefully define, separate, and limit powers within the Constitution?
The Founders understood the Biblical truth that man's nature, un-regenerated by God and the Holy Spirit, is evil, and will follow it's depraved nature unless held in careful check by just laws. It is only the justification of Christ and sanctification by the Holy Spirit that brings a truly changed life.
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.
God, Constitution, Voters, Congress, Supreme Court
19. Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I believe the Bible to be the only absolute source of truth and cannot be properly understood by a unregenerate person. We need the Holy Spirit in our lives to guide and lead us as we make decisions in our everyday affairs. God is not the force but is a personal being that interacts with His children. My core values come from the Bible and I will endeavor to never compromise on these beliefs.
