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

-John Adams

In a nation where people mostly lived within a certain set of morality and principles we had little need of laws. Today we have an ever growing mountain of laws because the principles and morality of Americans are perpetually shifting.
