What in the nature of mankind caused America’s Founders to carefully define, separate, and limit powers in the Constitution?
Corruption. Power, greed, and or lack of caring or empathy. The nature to rule by the law of man versus by the rule of law is a disrespectful nature of mankind to all mankind.Ignoring the Constitution devalues the entire institution of law.
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, Voters, Constitution, Supreme Court, and Congress. Academia, Industry, Media, and Professional Sports do not apply.
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
If a patient and doctor agree then it is a supported medical issue that should be allowed. This is a woman's constitutional right, as protected by Roe v. Wade, which should not be restricted and is not a legislative issue.
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
Government Intermeddling "Religion is a subject on which I have ever been most scrupulously reserved. I have considered it as a matter between every man and his Maker in which no other, and far less the public, had a right to intermeddle." -- Thomas Jefferson to Richard Rush, 1813. "The rights [to religious freedom] are of the natural rights of mankind, and ... if any act shall be ... passed to repeal [an act granting those rights] or to narrow its operation, such act will be an infringement of natural right." -- Thomas Jefferson: Statute for Religious Freedom, 1779.

Additional comment from candidate:
"A nation as a society forms a moral person, and every member of it is personally responsible for his society."-Thomas Jefferson. I believe education is the foundation of our democracy; it can bring together people of diverse backgrounds and experience. I do not sit on any agency, board, or council in Washington State that could present a potential conflict of interest to the public and in my obligations as State Representative, such as in my duty to ‘’protect individual rights.’’ “The U.S. didn't achieve its liberty or prosperity by mistake. It was by design, and the architects were the Founding Fathers. Don't mess with the Constitution. The Constitution matters.” ? A.E. Samaan
