Sunday Selections: Wisdom from the Founding Fathers
Posted by Joy Bischoff under: Constitution in Peril .
James Madison:
The great objects which presented themselves (to the Constitutional Convention)…formed a task more difficult than can well be conceived by those who were not concerned in the execution of it. Adding to these considerations the natural diversity of human opinions on all new and complicated subjects, it is impossible to consider the degree of concord which ultimately prevailed as less than a miracle.

These highly educated men came to believe in miracles. I know our country is going through a crisis in morality and ethics but I believe we will also see miracles and I believe the flag of the United States will be flying still when the Lord returns.

I’m glad Madison wrote how hard it was to get so many opinionated men to agree. It shows those who are critical of the founding fathers and fault them for things like the slavery issue, that it was an almost impossible task as it was and without compromise all would have been lost. This was great.
