J Will is correct that JA did say that our Constitution will only well serve a moral people. I submit that only a moral people would strive to increase love & freedom throughout their society. So in essence, both of you are essentially agreeing with one another! God Bless You Both! Bob
Regarding your comments on individualism, I agree wholeheartedly with the following proviso. One of the Founders (Adams?) said something to the effect that our form of government can only work in a moral society. Given the successful assaults over the past decades on what constitutes a moral society, one has to question how long we can survive as a representative republic. Absent a third great awakening, I have my concerns. J.W.
