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

The constitution, according to the Founders was intended to bind and restrict the government from infringing on our freedoms. Madison said "...government itself was the greatest reflections of human nature." Jefferson went on to say that the intent in framing the constitution was "...bind him (politicians) down from mischief by the chains of the Constitution." Separation of powers and the rigid guidelines of the constitution limit the power of government.

19. Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

I am an Evangelical Christian. I was brought up in a Christian home and at the age of 15 in July of 1976 I asked The Lord Jesus to be my Lord and Savior. Romans 3:23 "For all have sinned and fall short of God's glory." Romans 6:23 says "the wages of sin is death but the free gift of God is eternal life through our Lord Jesus Christ." He is my one and only hope for salvation and I'm learning how to love him and listen to him on a daily basis.
