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

Pride and love of power. Our Founders recognized a natural human instinct for pridefulness and power, which they experienced very directly in the way of a monarchial control exerted upon the colonies from afar. In an effort to curb the appetite for power, and protect individuals from its ultimate end, our Founders wisely created the checks and balances among the branches of our government to ensure no one person, or small group of people, could subvert individual liberty.

Melissa and I believe too many people pursue politics as a means to satisfy persona political ambition. We'd like to start to change that. My intention is to work on behalf of the people in humility, and with a heart for service.
