Parents, we homeschool.
12. Should abortion be allowed under extenuating circumstances? If so, what circumstances?
Yes. Rape, incest and life of mother.
13. What in the nature of mankind caused America’s Founders to carefully define, separate, and limit powers within the Constitution?
The greed and lust for power to control others, to own all property and violate the Ten Commandments. Some men have an inability to control their free will and they do not care about others. Instead, tyrants attempt to wield total power and remove God from our lives. Our Constitution and Bill of Rights have been negated and must be fully restored.
14. List your six (6) most important political endorsements.

15. 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, Supreme Court, Congress
