  9. The Constitution was designed to control the national government, not to control the people.

  11. The Constitution was structured to recognize and protect separate and sometimes conflicting interests.
  12. The Formula For Freedom is found in the structure of the U.S. Constitution:

  16. In order to retain the divinely inspired Constitution, the “Miracle at Philadelphia,” every generation must be educated in the divine science of government and be vigilant in its preservation.
