They Don't Write Bills Like They Used To!

I'm really into politics.  As a Christian, I think it's our duty to recognize evil and at least attempt to do something about it.  Recently, I've been listening to the lectures on the Constitution offered on-line for free from Hillsdale College.  I recommend them for anyone who loves this nation-a gift from God, and wants to preserve it's heritage.  There are arguments on both sides as to whether America is a christian nation or not.  But after going through this study, there is no doubt that the Constitution was divinely written.  It's so awesome to me that a relatively small document (a few thousand words compared to the several thousand page monstrosoties we have nowadays), could be so clear that any man could understand it, and so well written that it became the foundation of such a great nation.   How can that be anything other than a work of God?  In the Federalist Papers #62, Hamilton/Madison talks about the dangers of ever changing bills and laws:   "It poisons the blessing of liberty itself. It will be of little avail to the people, that the laws are made by men of their own choice, if the laws be so voluminous that they cannot be read, or so incoherent that they cannot be understood; if they be repealed or revised before they are promulgated, or undergo such incessant changes that no man, who knows what the law is to-day, can guess what it will be to-morrow. Law is defined to be a rule of action; but how can that be a rule, which is little known, and less fixed?"  Hello!!  That has present-day America written all over it!  Here is another good quote from The Federalist Papers #51: "But what is government itself, but the greatest of all reflections on human nature? If men were angels, no government would be necessary. If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary. In framing a government which is to be administered by men over men, the great difficulty lies in this: you must first enable the government to control the governed; and in the next place oblige it to control itself."
