And the alternative is general consent and appeal to an accepted, at least basic standard, as with the Constitution and Bill of Rights (though the morality and principles behind that much flow from and concur with Scripture, and are reflective of the general religious faith of the Founders and the People) and of a system of jurisprudence based on it?
But not as themselves being above reproof from those who can present such based upon substantiation from said standard.
Can you simplify that for my poor brain?
I think you’re saying that the Constitution and other founding documents were heavily influenced by Judeo-Christian morality, but I’m not sure. I’ll agree if that’s what you’re saying.
The constant acknowledgement of a higher authority is necessary for a society to avoid slipping into the 3 purely humanistic bases of morality I mentioned earlier. Once again, I’ll agree if that’s what you’re saying.
The constitution has stipulated provisions to change its nature, based on what majorities happen to believe at any one time. What is off limits to an amendment?
