“No constitution on earth has endured longer than ours. We
seek and usually find the answers to today’s hardest legal questions within
this document of yesterday. The Constitution was and is a miracle. Both
Washington and Madison referred to it as such. It was an inspired document,
written under the divine guidance of the Lord. James Madison, commonly called
the Father of the Constitution, recognized this inspiration and gave the credit
to ‘the guardianship and guidance of the Almighty Being whose power regulates
the destiny of nations whose blessings have been so conspicuously displayed to
the rising of this republic.’ We believe that the Constitution was brought
about by God to insure a nation where liberty could abound, where his gospel
could flourish.” – L. Tom Perry
