"The Lord raised up the Founding Fathers. He it was who established the Constitution of this land - the greatest document of freedom ever written. This God-inspired Constitution is not outmoded. It is not an outdated "agrarian document." ... It was the Lord God who established the foundation of this nation; and woe be unto those - members of the Supreme Court and others - who would weaken this foundation."-Ezra Taft Benson
Quoted in A Glorious Standard, page 51
"To me ... that statement of the Lord, "I have established the Constitution of this land," puts the Constitution of the United States in the position in which it would be if it were written in the book of Doctrine and Covenants itself. This makes the Constitution the word of the Lord to us. That it was given, not by oral utterance, but by the operation of His mind and spirit upon the minds of men, inspiring them to the working out of this great document of human government, does not alter its authority..."-J. Reuben Clark
Quoted in A Glorious Standard, page 42-43
