What in the nature of mankind caused America’s Founders to carefully define, separate, and limit powers in the Constitution?

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I subscribe to the teachings of the Catholic Church in holding all life sacred and that all life is and must be protected. Jesus Christ gave mankind the belief in a higher spiritual power. He forgave us our sins and provided a pathway of ideals to achieve the rewards with Him in eternal afterlife. At the cornerstone of the Catholic Church is the family. Honor thy Mother and Father is to pay homage to the importance of the unitary concept of them as one until death due them part, thus, cementing a bond for the family to rely upon.
