What the Church Teaches about The U.S. Constitution

The following is a presentation I put together for a Family Home Evening for my children. It contains quotes about the divine inspiration for the U.S. Constitution from the scriptures, Joseph Smith, other modern prophets, the Founding Fathers, and the living prophets. In this our world today where the founding fathers are often denigrated and the importance of the Constitution is de-valued, I wanted my kids to know the importance of the U.S. Constitution and have courage to support it as they grow into voting adults. I believe that God inspired the formation of the United States of America and its Constitution and I add my witness to the others quoted in the presentation, that the U.S. Constitution was inspired by God. We need good people everywhere, especially those who know of its divine source, to uphold and defend the Constitution, and I pray that we will have the courage to do so.
