OOPS! FREEDOM is NOT FIRST

In my last post, I made a statement that our Founders wanted to based our country first and foremost on freedom. This is partly wrong, I think. While freedom is the result of our Constitutional government, the Founders wanted to base our country on the 'rule of law' and not arbitrary authority or power. This is an important distinction, as without law, a government cannot be ordered.

"Ordered Liberty" is our Founders' "frame". We should be so thankful!!!
