18. What in the nature of mankind caused America’s Founders to carefully define, separate, and limit powers within the Constitution?
I think the Founding Fathers knew what's obvious today. If you give too much power to the government, they will take advantage and seek more. They didn't predict the future, people were the same back then as they are today. We have a president who thinks he's a king, a congress that won't properly use their power, and too many issues being taken to the courts because our government doesn't want to respect our Constitution.
19. 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
20. Should abortion be allowed under extenuating circumstances? If so, what circumstances?
No. If a mother's life is at risk, a doctor and the patient will have to make that call, but the percentage of that is quite low compared to the amount of abortions that are occurring. My mother had a lot of problems when my brother was born, which was her second child. There was a lot of blood and the doctor told my father that it was dangerous to have more children. She ended up getting pregnant again (while on birth control), but God gave them a peace about it. Then they had five more girls. Rape is a huge argument for pro-abortion or "pro-choice" activists, but just because a rapist takes a woman's virtue doesn't mean he has to take away her humanity as well. A baby is innocent. I believe love and time can heal all wounds, no matter how deep. It's not the end of the world, it's the beginning of a life. I pray that a woman involved in this terrible situation can find peace through the love of her child and that God takes what was done in evil and turns it around for good.
21. Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I am a proud Christian. I believe in the whole bible from Genesis to Revelation, that God is real, his power is unmatched, and that there's no wisdom or understanding greater than God's. I have lived in harmony with my big family because we practiced biblical values, and I can testify that they work. Something simple like "Don't let the sun go down on your wrath" has brought a lot of peace with my siblings and my parents. My father is a preacher, and he raised good PK's. I'm a virgin, I teach about abstinence, I sing in the church, preach, and I'm a good giver. I've seen miracles, signs, and wonders, and I know that God has been so good to me! I could go on, and on, and on...
