LEARNING THE PRINCIPLES OF SOUND GOVERNMENT

LD 19’s Constitutional Study Curriculum

Recommended for Every Precinct Committeeman

Discover the 28 fundamental beliefs of the Founding Fathers which they said must be understood and perpetuated by every people who desired peace, prosperity, and freedom.  These beliefs have made possible more progress in 200 years than was made previously in over 5,000 years.

We highlight and review one of these principles in our monthly District meeting on the third Thursday night of each month. 

The following is a brief overview of the first two principles outlined in The 5,000 Year Leap, written by Dr. Cleon Skousen, a renowned constitutional author:

 Principle 1 - The only reliable basis for sound government and just human relations is Natural Law.

Natural law is God's law. There are certain laws which govern the entire universe, and just as Thomas Jefferson said in the Declaration of Independence, there are laws which govern in the affairs of men which are "the laws of nature and of nature's God."

Principle 2 - A free people cannot survive under a republican constitution unless they remain virtuous and morally strong.

"Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom. As nations become corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters." - Benjamin Franklin
