Not for Angels

America's constitutional system was built on a realistic understanding of human nature, not the assumption that people are naturally trustworthy or selfless. Drawing from biblical teaching about the fallen human heart, the Founders designed checks and balances to restrain the abuse of power. While Marxist thought tends to locate evil primarily in systems and seeks to solve problems through centralized authority, Scripture teaches that sin resides in every human heart, making accountability essential for everyone. Liberty flourishes when citizens recognize both human dignity and human depravity, living with integrity while insisting on constitutional limits.
