Was the Constitution Inspired?
Many people wonder if the U.S. Constitution is inspired and if that is the case, how so? I believe that it is very inspired because once you consider the fact that so many different minded people back in the day all united for one common cause and made something that has been copied by many countries and lasted hundreds of years. They had to sort through so many different opinions and eventually, they created something amazing. Only something inspired of God could be such a force of nature. Also, if the United States did not break away from England, Joseph Smith may have never been able to restore the gospel on the earth today because of lack of religious freedom in England. Everything the Constitution has done since then has only helped the well-being of man and of our natural rights. Without it, we might not even be here. The Constitution, despite being written by men who were not part of our church, was inspired to be written for us today.

This was pretty good! Well written, but I think you could have used more details and examples as to how and why it was inspired, you got a couple basics though.
ReplyDeleteYou touched on one very specific point, the founding fathers all working together (which was good), but the rest was sort of generalized. Next time use some specific examples from our reading for that session.
