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

Mankinds' desire for unlimited power. The founding fathers recognized this and designed a three tiered system of government within established the separation of powers. We have see these powers blatantly abused by the current president who has been overruled multiple times.

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?

To save the life of the mother. The Declaration of Independence clearly state " that we are endowed by our creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." You may not have any of the above rights without the right to Life.

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

Born to a wonderful Jewish Mother and Italian Catholic father I dedicated myself to the Lord in 1980. I am a member of the First Baptist Church of Cutler Ridge. I have been a woman's leader, and mentor of women and a Sunday School teacher for over 30 years. I believe The Bible is a Literal book inspired by God. My values are tied directly to my faith in God.

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.

My record as a councilwoman- Vice Mayor and then Mayor of Homestead are solid. I was a Miami Dade County Commissioner where I stood strong in the face of great opposition on behalf of family values . Specifically I stood in opposition to an ordinance that would allow allow men to enter women's restrooms based on how they feel any particular time.
