What in the nature of mankind caused America’s Founders to carefully define, separate, and limit powers in the Constitution?

Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
To protect the mother's life
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I believe in God and I am a Christian in my spiritual beliefs. I believe that we should follow the Judeo Christian beliefs to guide our values and the way we live our lives.
Considering all issues (social, economic, national security, etc.), which of these best describes you?
Conservative
Please defend your answer to the previous question by referencing your publicly available track record.
I believe in the conservative view of politics in that the peoples' rights should not be usurped by the government. We need to redevelop a system that has less governmental controls in our daily lives and decreases the individual's tax burden by eliminating government waste. I believe in a strong educational system that not only teaches the basics in education but continues education that will assist individuals in obtaining suitable employment. I believe that we should follow the Constitution and Bill of Rights, including their protection. I believe in strong family values and that we should promote those values and make them attainable to everyone. I am pro life and a supporter of our second amendment rights that are under attack. I support small business interests and believe that they are essential to our economy. I care about people and I am always trying to help them better their lives.

Additional comment from candidate:
I have never been a politician and never intended to be one. I changed my mind because I believe that we need people who make decisions that affect the lives of our citizens should be non-biased, have good morals, and enjoy the benefit of experience in making good decisions. I feel that I am a person that fits that description and I am willing to devote myself to the service of doing just that.
