However, it has been by far the most successful government charter or document ever written, outlasting any other attempt at democratic governance. It was also brilliantly designed to be amended, slowly and carefully as times might require, lest the nation be weakened by attempts to bend to every new doctrine or briefly popular whim.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; This manifesto reiterates the importance of adhering to the Constitution to ensure the integrity of our democratic processes and to safeguard our liberties. It serves as a clarion call for all citizens and leaders to uphold these enduring principles to effectively navigate the complexities of modern governance.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; This manifesto is based on facts of the Constitution of the United States, which was adopted as \"the supreme law of the land.\" The United States owes its existence, freedoms, and unprecedented success to this fundamental document. The extent to which the Constitution has been compromised or neglected correlates directly with the degree to which crises and chaos have weakened the Republic. These can be corrected with an understanding of, and devotion to, our Constitution as the most brilliant and effective government charter in human history.&nbsp;&nbsp; <a href=\"https:\/\/publications.morningstarministries.org\/word-for-the-week\/de-facto-manifesto-citizens-united-states\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">continue &gt;&gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>","fulltext":"","state":1,"catid":"8","created":"2024-05-17 13:49:14","created_by":"873","created_by_alias":"","modified":"2024-05-17 13:49:14","modified_by":null,"checked_out":null,"checked_out_time":null,"publish_up":"2024-05-17 13:49:14","publish_down":"0000-00-00 00:00:00","images":"{\"image_intro\":\"\",\"float_intro\":\"\",\"image_intro_alt\":\"\",\"image_intro_caption\":\"\",\"image_fulltext\":\"\",\"float_fulltext\":\"\",\"image_fulltext_alt\":\"\",\"image_fulltext_caption\":\"\"}","urls":"{\"urla\":false,\"urlatext\":\"\",\"targeta\":\"\",\"urlb\":false,\"urlbtext\":\"\",\"targetb\":\"\",\"urlc\":false,\"urlctext\":\"\",\"targetc\":\"\"}","attribs":"{\"article_layout\":\"\",\"show_title\":\"\",\"link_titles\":\"\",\"show_tags\":\"\",\"show_intro\":\"\",\"info_block_position\":\"\",\"info_block_show_title\":\"\",\"show_category\":\"\",\"link_category\":\"\",\"show_parent_category\":\"\",\"link_parent_category\":\"\",\"show_associations\":\"\",\"show_author\":\"\",\"link_author\":\"\",\"show_create_date\":\"\",\"show_modify_date\":\"\",\"show_publish_date\":\"\",\"show_item_navigation\":\"\",\"show_icons\":\"\",\"show_print_icon\":\"\",\"show_email_icon\":\"\",\"show_vote\":\"\",\"show_hits\":\"\",\"show_noauth\":\"\",\"urls_position\":\"\",\"alternative_readmore\":\"\",\"article_page_title\":\"\",\"show_publishing_options\":\"\",\"show_article_options\":\"\",\"show_urls_images_backend\":\"\",\"show_urls_images_frontend\":\"\"}","version":1,"ordering":null,"metakey":"","metadesc":"","access":"1","hits":null,"metadata":"{\"robots\":\"\",\"author\":\"\",\"rights\":\"\",\"xreference\":\"\"}","featured":"1","language":"*","xreference":"","note":""}
