America

Our Founding Fathers knew that government must change as the time changes. Thomas Jefferson himself, in a mature reflection, declared: “Some men look at constitutions with sanctimonious reverence and deem them like the ark of covenant, too sacred to be touched. They ascribe to the men of the preceding age a wisdom more than human, and suppose what they did to be beyond amendment . . . I am certainly not an advocate for frequent and untried changes in laws and constitutions. . . But I also know that laws and institutions must go hand and hand with the progress of the human mind. . . As new discoveries are made, new truths disclosed, and manners and opinions change with the change of circumstances, institutions must advance also, and keep pace with the times.” As democracy has decayed in America, theocracy has gotten back on track.
