Jerome Horowitz has written this studious and informative study guide for Latter-day Saints wishing a greater in-depth knowledge of the intent of our Founding Fathers and the practicality of the United States Constitution today. This study guide is intended as a companion to the author’s best-selling book, “The Elders of Israel and the Constitution” and asks that the reader also have ready access to “The Federalist Papers” and the Holy Scriptures.
Brother Horowitz introduces the Constitution by explaining that “today most judges and legal scholars march to a different drum than that heard by the Framers of the Constitution. In fact, in recent years many have had such disdain for the Framer’s Constitution that they have openly ceased even giving the appearance of respecting it.” Among those several documented reasons for the unpopularity of the Constitution, Brother Horowitz discusses the United Nations and waning sovereignty of the United States, the role of public education, and various agendas of tax-exempt foundations. Reviewing the Constitution article by article and clause by clause, this guide emphasizes the divine nature of the Constitution, the inspiration of the Founding Fathers, and the responsibilities of Latter-day Saints today. 148 pages. 8 1/2 x 11, comb bound.
