We’ve staked the future of all our political institutions upon our capacity…to sustain ourselves according to the Ten Commandments of God.” [1778 to the General Assembly of the State of Virginia]

John Adams

The three branches of the U.S. Government: Judicial, Legislative, Executive • At the Constitutional Convention of 1787, James Madison proposed the plan to divide the central government into three branches. He discovered this model of government from the Perfect Governor, as he read Isaiah 33:22; “For the LORD is our judge,the LORD is our lawgiver, the LORD is our king; He will save us.”Article 22 of the constitution of Delaware (1776) Required all officers, besides taking an oath of allegiance, to make and subscribe to the following declaration: • "I, [name], do profess faith in God the Father, and in Jesus Christ His only Son, and in the Holy Ghost, one God, blessed for evermore; and I do acknowledge the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testament to be given by divine inspiration."
