What is the ideal country we would like to live in?

History shows that all great nations have destroyed themselves. Countries rise, peak and then go into gradual decline. While America is still a great place to live, it is not what it should be. After 200 years, America IS in decline. The signs are everywhere. Young people have no clue how much this country has changed because the present is all they know.

So what is the ideal country we would like to live in??  This is the exact question our Founding Fathers asked. After much discussion, thought and prayer, they came up with a new form of government. The values and fundamental principles put into place made the new country of the United States of America unique in the world and caused over 70 million immigrants to come to America because they wanted to become proud Americans and be part of the American Dream. However, after 200 years, America is losing these foundational principles. Everything that made America, and American culture special and unique in the world is being lost – and many Americans don’t even know it.

“…But what is government itself, but the greatest of all reflections on human nature? If men were angels, no government would be necessary. If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary. In framing a government which is to be administered by men over men, the great difficulty lies in this: you must first enable the government to control the governed; and in the next place oblige it to control itself. A dependence on the people is, no doubt, the primary control on the government….” James Madison, Fourth President of the United States (1)

The Constitutional Convention
The most intelligent group of men to ever assemble together gave the world a document that has been the blueprint for the constitutions for other nations around the world.
