Even though the Founding Fathers weren’t prophets they were men of God. Those men listened to the inspiration that God gave to them during the writing of the Constitution. The Constitution wasn’t only written for the people in the colonies but for all men. All men are created equal and all have the same rights. The Founding Fathers understood this concept and implemented it in the constitution. This document was created to protect all people and their rights. The Doctrine and Covenants reads “We believe that no government can exist in peace, except such as are framed and held inviolate as will secure to each individual the free exercise of conscience, the right and control of property, and the protection of life”. This scripture states man’s natural rights, life, liberty, and property. The Founding Fathers came to earth to write the constitution and change the path of the United States. The Lord knew type of government that was needed and revealed it to the men who wrote it and inspired the separation of powers and bicameral house. Another huge part of the Constitution that was inspired was popular sovereignty, where the people have a say in how they are governed. Sovereignty does not have a king who creates laws and such but the power comes from the people. The Founding Fathers were men inspired by God to change the path of the United States to make it a place where Gods children could be governed correctly and fairly.
Saylee, I agree with you about the founding fathers, the truly where men of God and though they where not prophets of God they had been truly inspired. A couple things that I might have added to make a little more out of this would have been to had just added a little bit more information about what our founding fathers did for us as the people, such as the Bill of Rights. Other that that it was good.
