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 particularÿreligion or belief system. Individuals though should be free to express their own individual values in the public square.
