What in the nature of mankind caused America’s Founders to carefully define, separate, and limit powers in the Constitution?
Mankind is selfish and by nature cares more about self than others. The founders knew this and created the separation of powers with a three part government.
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
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
When there is a choice between the mothers life and the babies life the woman with counsel from her family and doctors should make these life or death decisions. I hold that we should do our best to save the baby's life.
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I believe Jesus is the son of the living God (The creator mentioned in the Declaration of Independence). I believe Jesus died and rose again to restore our relationship with the Creator. Jesus is coming again to take us to be with the Father God in heaven sometime in the future.
Considering all issues (social, economic, national security, etc.), which of these best describes you?
Very Conservative
Please defend your answer to the previous question by referencing your publicly available track record.
