Freedom is always under siege from the roving bandits that seek to tyrannize and plunder the free. To protect themselves, the Founding Fathers of the United States erected the Constitution as a citadel of freedom. Like Minas Tirith, it was built with seven walls. From outer to inner, the walls are:

A written constitution.

A vertical separation of powers.

A horizontal separation of powers.

A government of enumerated powers.

A government of mixed type.

A bill of enumerated rights.

An acknowledgment of unwritten rights.

All seven walls have been breached, or worse — many of the gates were opened by naïve fools, would-be tyrants, and disloyal magistrates, or left unmanned by a decadent and distracted citizenry.

This was a three part series. I found it to be pretty good and thought I'd pass it along.
For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

An interesting read.
“I have little patience with people who take the Bill of Rights for granted.  The Bill of Rights, contained in the first ten amendments to the Constitution, is every American’s guarantee of freedom.” - - President Harry S. Truman, “Years of Trial and Hope”
