Why the U.S. Constitution is Divinely Inspired (Restoration Revealed Episode 18)

Latter-day Saints believe the U.S. Constitution is divinely inspired because their prophets have stated that God established it "for the rights and protection of all flesh". They interpret this to mean God guided the framers, through their inspired leaders like George Washington, to create a document that provides principles for political freedom and safeguards the rights of citizens. This belief stems from Joseph Smith and subsequent leaders' affirmations that the Constitution's core principles, such as separation of powers and the rule of law, reflect divine will. In this episode, Casey Griffiths travels to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in search of the origins behind this divinely inspired document. What did the Savior Jesus Christ himself say about the Constitution? What core principles helped to create it? Why is it important to people around the world to know about it? Join Casey as he visits some of the most recognizable locations in Philadelphia and talks with a former U.S. Appeals Court judge from D.C. who is also a member of the Church.*Donate to Scripture Central:https://form-renderer-app.donorperfect.io/give/scripture-central/donations*Sign up for our email list:https://forms.aweber.com/form/87/2078810487.htm*Download our free scripture study tool, the ScripturePlus app: https://www.scriptureplus.org/
