The United States Constitution is the best designed constitution in human history for the protection of liberty. It effectively balances power among the branches of government and provides a system by which each branch checks the power of the others. Furthermore, it creates an effective balance between federal and state power. Despite this system, John Adams observed that the Constitution and its checks would only work if the American people remained virtuous. Once the leaders of America ceased fearing God, they would start finding ways to subvert the Constitution.
