Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other. The only foundation of a free constitution is pure Virtue, and if this cannot be inspired into our people. They may change their rulers, and the forms of government, but they will not obtain a lasting liberty. A Constitution of government once changed from freedom, can never be restored. liberty, once lost, is lost forever.
John Adams
