| description |
In the Declaration of Independence of the United States, the Founders proclaimed their belief in God and in the Natural Law. Eleven years later, another group of Founders met to frame an instrument
that would strengthen the union of the States. Their work � the Constitution of the United States � is a practical application of the principles of the Natural Law invoked in the Declaration of Independence. The Natural Law of the Founders of the Constitution is the classical - traditional Natural Law of Greek � Roman - Christian civilization, based upon God, and not the Natural law of the Enlightenment, which was based only on human reason and will. The influence of classical-traditional Natural Law is reflected in three
fundamental aspects of the Constitution: limited government, subsidiarity,
and the guaranteeing of rights only as against government.
