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

The Founders carefully drafted the Constitution according to their belief that man, guided by his morals rooted in spiritual faith, should determine his path on Earth with as little government interference as possible. In addition, man, being fallen and fallible, should not be able to amass power using a heavy handed government as a tool for evil.

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

All things work together for good to them that love God and are called according to his purpose.
