<>Our forefathers stated clearly that the structure of our government was not sufficient to keep evil in check.<>

Wow. I didn’t know that. In which Federalist Paper did you notice this revelation?

John Adams to the Massachusetts Militia, October 11, 1798, “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious People. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”

James Madison wrote in Federalist 55 that our Constitution requires “sufficient virtue among men for self-government,” otherwise, “nothing less than the chains of despotism can restrain them from destroying and devouring one another.”

“Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”

John Adams
