Aren't the 10 Commandments engraved on the doors leading into the Supreme court bldg in Washington?
Wouldn't the government be better off (by being limited, in the reach of all its branches) in following just one truncated commandment: "Thou shalt not"?
Our high schooler was there last week on a class trip. Only the Roman numerals I through X appear on the two tablets.
The guide claimed these numerals represent not the Ten Commandments but rather the first ten Amendments to the Constitution, better known as the Bill of Rights.
(And here I didn't even know the Bill of Rights was carved onto stone tablets. /sarc)
