The Constitution of the United States is the spirit of America written on a piece of parchment. It is the centerpiece of American life, the source of our liberty and freedom, written by some of the wisest and bravest men who ever walked the earth; our “Founding Fathers”. Our founding fathers were intelligent, religious men. The Constitution is so great because it is founded on principles and rights given by God through the Holy Bible. “Suppose a nation in some distant region takes the Bible as its sole legislative book, and each member should regulate his conduct according to the precepts therein set forth!

To the distinguished character of Patriot, it should be our highest glory to add the most distinguished character of Christian (Fairchild 1)." and Franklin who said, "Here is my creed. I believe in one God, the Creator of the Universe. That He governs it by His Providence. Who should be worshiped (Fairchild 1)." were obviously also men of great faith.

These facts are supported and repeated by people of every nation, creed and language through immigration and imitation. but I do not believe that our founding fathers used personal intuition or innate wisdom, but rather I have argued that this country was founded on the principles of Christianity, as found in the Holy Bible New York Contemporary English Version 1995.
