14. What in the nature of mankind caused America’s Founders to carefully define, separate, and limit powers within the Constitution?
I have no idea!
15. Briefly list three (3) political or legislative issues of most concern to you, and explain why each is important to you.
In 2014 there is no other issue than America's foreign policy. 17 trillion debt with no plan, occupation of a 3rd world country into our 14th yr, 3 billion a week, 100,000 contractors, millions dead, 22 US military suicides EVERY DAY. Citizens must speak up and speak out and get involved in the decision of the Federal Govt. This continuing military expansion policy is suicide - we have reached the limits of expansion into foreign lands and now begin the expansion into our neighborhoods.
16. Should abortion be allowed under extenuating circumstances? If so, what circumstances?
If I were a fetus I would want this decision to be my mother's and not the governments. Even if she decides to end my life, I think I would prefer her judgment to a governments. On the other hand, the judgment of a community is never wrong! The mother must have the support and help of her community. Government can facilitate this process.
17. 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.
Voters, Constitution, Science, Congress
18. Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
Spirituality is a set of behaviors I practice every day. e.g. Tell the truth, do one thing at a time, face danger, hardship, difficulty, shut up, show up, pay attention, risk, help, give, participate.
