Defending Our Divinely Inspired Constitution | Dallin H. Oaks

Dallin H. Oaks

President Oaks describes the divinely inspired principles in the United States Constitution. He teaches how Latter-day Saints can defend these principles.

"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."

1.     "The Constitution is the guide which I will never abandon." - George Washington

2.     "The happy Union of these States is a wonder; their Constitution a miracle; their example the hope of Liberty throughout the world." James Madison

3.     "The glory of justice and the majesty of law are created not just by the Constitution - nor by the courts - nor by the officers of the law - nor by the lawyers - but by the men and women who constitute our society - who are the protectors of the law as they are themselves protected by the law." - Robert F. Kennedy

4.     "If there is any principle of the Constitution that more imperatively calls for attachment than any other it is the principle of free thought, not free thought for those who agree with us but freedom for the thought that we hate." - Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.
