18. What in the nature of mankind caused America’s Founders to carefully define, separate, and limit powers within the Constitution?
Man is created in the image and likeness of God, his body a temple of the Holy Spirit. Thus, the Constitution recognizes the natural God-given freedom to self-govern that are so respected and recognized in this country, while also ensuring that individuals, and God Almighty Himself, through recognition of the human being as the ultimate Godly creation, are protected through tyranny. This is the very definition of our democratic republic.
19. 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.

20. Should abortion be allowed under extenuating circumstances? If so, what circumstances?
No.
21. Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I recognize God as the creator, manifested in the trinity. We were created by Him and our entire existence is to know Him, to love Him, and to honor Him. We desire to be with Him for eternity in Heaven and bring as many people with us as possible. My values are derived from this core belief, not just in the reason why I exist, but the reason why all people exist. Thus, I see our government as an imperfect one that seeks a certain order, while recognizing that the ultimate authority is and can only be our Creator.
