Inspired Constitution?

The Great Fundamentals of the Constitution were inspired. The Bill of Rights were inspired by our Founding Fathers, the separation of powers, the division of powers, popular sovereignty, and the rule of law are all inspired.  There are different pieces of evidence that point to the Constitution being inspired. For example, our country was chosen to be the free country by God so that the gospel can be restored. During “A More Perfect Union” Ben Franklin even stood up and said that they should all pray at that moment. The founding fathers were enough evidence to tell us that the constitution was inspired. It wasn’t only what they did to prepare for setting up the Constitution, it was how. They studied different governments, met together with one goal, to change the country forever. They were willing to give up everything; they sacrificed their own time to meet together for their meetings. They were men of action and not just words. God chose these wise men to come up with a government that worked for the free country. He chose them because they were willing and they would come prepared and they were humble. God chose to have this land be the land where freedom reigns and He chose the right men for the job.

  1. Good job. You did cover the material, but it was a bit short. I think having the essay a little longer would have helped; not for the sake of being lengthy, but for the sake of a more comprehensive explanation.

  2. Your essay covered all of the material but it would have been more insightful with some examples for each idea stated.
