• On October 11, 1798, President John
Adams told assembled military leaders, “Our Constitution
was made only for a moral and religious people. It is
wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”[29] In other words,
the Constitution is for a country based on the ethics
of the Bible. When that is lost in the people, the Constitution is
completely inadequate because right and wrong cannot be
measured by humans. He also once wrote in his diary that if a
nation had the Bible as their only law book it would be a
“Eutopia [and a] Paradise.”[30] He states that his
purpose in helping birth this country was to found it upon
the gospel of Jesus Christ.
