The Founders gave us the Constitution to prescribe a government of laws, which assured certain rights. More importantly, it was not to be a government of men.
The Constitution is the law not just some fungible guidelines. All of these politicians working outside the of the Constitution are breaking the laws of our country and getting away with it so far. There is a definition for this and a remedy. Time for a massive reawakening in America before it is too late.
What a lot of people don't realize is that the united States Constitution IS the government. It was laid down so that those that the people elect are to swear to uphold it as part of their duties. They are to ADMINISTER the government as written. Any laws made must be made in pursuance there of.
What happened in my mind is that the people went to sleep back around the time of Lincoln to such a degree that they let the office of president become one of a dictator. In his case he violated the Constitution so much that he should have been arrested, indicted and tried for treason. We have had the insane psychopathic control freaks running the country too long! For that matter, the WORLD.
John Adams said our Constitution was suited only for a moral and religious people and that it was wholly unsuited to any other. Are we to conclude, then, that the Founders intended America to be a "Christian Nation"? A theocracy? I think not. They created a federal government that could act decisively within a limited scope. A government that protected us from foreign enemies and restrained us from killing or defrauding each other but beyond that left us free to govern our own behavior. That works only if we do, in fact, govern our own behavior. Otherwise freedom degenerates into chaos and anarchy. We need an internal restraint. Morality and religion, which Adams might have considered interchangeable, provide that restraint. Morality and religion, rather than being features of our Constitution, are prerequisites to its survival. Alexis de Tocqueville deals with this extensively in his "Democracy in America". Jesus said "My kingdom is not of this world". The genius of our Founders was that they erected a wall of separation between church and state that granted sovereignty to pastors, priests and rabbis in spiritual matters. Politicians, while refraining from regulating or prescribing religion, are wise to recognize and respect the critical role it plays in the survival of our republic. Before you reply to this post please check out what de Tocqueville had to say about this topic. His comments really clarified the issue for me.
You are 100% right with the line... "Likewise, we will lose our Constitution forever if we ever totally lose our ethical foundations." The further this country strays form the thing of God, the farther it will fall.

Outstanding research thoroughly explained. Well done.

True.
