Strongly Agree
10. There should be a strict constitutional spending limit for state and local governments that would tie the rate of spending to the rate of population growth plus the rate of inflation.
Agree
11. Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality which permitted our system of limited government.
Strongly Agree
12. Free market competition for education dollars, rather than a government monopoly, would create a better education for all students.
Strongly Agree
13. Where minor children are involved, divorce laws should be reformed to include mutual consent of both parents and an increased waiting period, unless there is fault or abuse.
Strongly Agree
14. The Ten Commandments should not be displayed in public school buildings.
Strongly Disagree
15. Religious freedom is our most foundational freedom and deserves added protection in our state and federal constitutions.
Agree
16. What in the nature of mankind caused America’s Founders to carefully define, separate, and limit powers within the Constitution?
Because man is sinful by nature and with out laws we would have anarchy. Without a clear definition of government and the roles of executive, legislative and judiciary, we would have the same problems that were under a monarchy and the articles of confederation. Those problems the founders wanted to avoid. The founders also wanted the God given right of freedom and set up a government to try and preserve that right.
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 #17 This country is not a pure democracy it is Republic with a representative form of Government.
19. Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I am a Christian and believe that God sent his son to save us from our sins. The only way to be saved is through grace and belief in Jesus as your Savior. I believe that government that does the least works the best. We need to get government out of the daily lives of citizens and get back to more personal responsibility in our lives instead of government responsibility for our lives. Government should be protecting our God given rights instead of trying to take them away.
