"Human law must rest its authority ultimately upon the authority of that law which is Divine. . . . Far from being rivals or enemies, religion and law are twin sisters, friends, and mutual assistants.
" - James Wilson, U. S. Supreme Court Justice and Signer of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution[13, 48]

First Amendment to the US Constitution: (italics added for emphasis)

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances[1]

"Religion in America takes no direct part in the government or society, but it must, nevertheless, be regarded as the foremost of the political institutions of that country" - Democracy in America, Alexis de Toqueville (1805-1859)[2]


"Now historians are discovering that the Bible, perhaps more than the Constitution is our founding document."
