18. What in the nature of mankind caused America’s Founders to carefully define, separate, and limit powers within the Constitution?
The recognition of individualism and respect for one another is what in the nature of mankind caused the Constitution to be written as it was. The Founding Fathers understood that everyone is different; it doesn't take skin color to make one different, and they responded with a decree that allowed everyone to honor their differences, choices, ideas, expectations, hopes, and dreams to their liking and no one else's.
