Alex Merced on Principles & Values |
Merced: I was raised Catholic and still consider myself personally spiritual. I take the lessons of faith and forgiveness that I learned as a child to be some of the most important values I've ever attained in living a successful and fulfilling life.
Q: What in the nature of mankind caused America's Founders to carefully define, separate, and limit powers in the Constitution?
Merced: Power Corrupts; Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely
A: Laws should not force people to observe the practices, values, or traditions of any particular˙religion or belief system. Individuals though should be free to express their own individual values in the public square.
