§ Statement of Purpose

The View from 1776 presents a framework to understand present-day issues from the viewpoint of the colonists who fought for American independence in 1776 and wrote the Constitution in 1787. Knowing and preserving those understandings, what might be called the unwritten constitution of our nation, is vital to preserving constitutional government. Without them, the bare words of the Constitution are just a Rorschach ink-blot that politicians, educators, and judges can interpret to mean anything they wish.

"We have no government armed with the power capable of contending with human passions, unbridled by morality and true religion. Our constitution is made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other." John Adams, to the Officers of the First Brigade, Third Division, Massachusetts Militia, October 11, 1798.

The View From 1776

No Time For God

Everything is better when we obey the Fourth Commandment’s instruction to keep the Lord’s Day holy.

If GOD’s worthiness is not perceived, humility to Him does not result.

Too often God receives a tip-of-the-hat instead of a heart of praise and submission. Religious ritual is all one has, otherwise.

Ritual will not make a worthy difference in a life.

The work of the Lord in our behalf wins our loyalty. Loyalty is the engine of priority - and of our lives. He is worthy.
