God exists — Rights come from Him — The purpose of government is to secure these rights

Pastor David Whitney posts sermons, announcements, commentaries, and more. From his notices, you will learn of some of the classes around the country studying Institute on the Constitution’s U.S. Constitution course. Pastor Whitney is a Senior Instructor at Institute on the Constitution.
The American view of law and government has been lost on much of America’s judiciary, the United States Supreme Court being a prime example, as clearly evidenced in statements made by Ruth Bader Ginsburg, which were televised on January 30, 2012 on Al Hayat TV of Egypt. The Supreme Court Associate Justice denounced the U.S. Constitution as the appropriate constitution to use as a model for constitution-writing in a “democracy” in modern times.
Well, first we might ask Ms. Ginsburg why she would even advise a group of people to establish a “democracy.” She ought to learn that America is a “constitutional republic,” a nation whose government is defined by a written compact, i.e. the United States Constitution (which nowhere contains the word democracy). The American government is designed to be a government which obeys the laws of God (known through His revealed Word), and is established and given its limited powers by the People, who are its sovereigns. The People have agreed, in their written compact, to elect representatives to administer the duties and principles of that defined government, expecting those elected to stay submitted to the structure and authority defined in that Constitution.

As the Constitution is the supreme law of the State of Maryland, any bill passed by the General Assembly and even signed by the Governor is not law if it violates the Supreme Law of the State of Maryland.
Maryland Declaration of Rights, Article 5a:

The most important thing I can do as a result of this course is use the knowledge actively. By this I mean the following:
To do all of this constantly would be a full time job. So, I will do as much as possible when I see issues that are critical. As opportunities present themselves, I will inform people of the constitutuionality of that issue.
