We at the Institute on the Constitution (IOTC) are here to help you educate members of your church family and surrounding community about the Biblical Founding of the United States of America! 

The Pretended Articles of Impeachment Against a President By Jake MacAulay We recently received the following inquiry at Institute on the Constitution: “One of the Articles of Impeachment delivered to the Senate was a charge of obstruction of justice because Trump didn't cooperate with the investigation. But isn't there protection from self-incrimination in the Bill of Rights? Does a sitting president (or anyone, for that matter) have to cooperate with an investigation?” Assu

The first four Voter Guide links below are for federal and State level elections.  Due to lack of funds (mainly donations) these organizations may not have information on every candidate or issue.  In addition, many candidates often ignore questionnaires sent to them by such groups.  You can draw your own conclusions from their lack of response.  That said, these are still very useful and worthy of encouraging your church to print and insert into their bulletins, or at least

Resource 5.4 – Candidate Evaluation equips citizens with a clear framework for evaluating candidates through a Biblical versus secular worldview. By focusing on a candidate’s understanding of constitutional limits, moral authority, and the source of rights, this resource helps voters discern whether leaders recognize government as limited and accountable—or view the state as supreme.

It is really important to “frame” your comments with respect to the Constitution (Federal or State) and other founding documents.  Don’t just give your “opinion.”

Resource 5.6 – Political & Legislative Guidelines offers a concise reference outlining what churches and pastors may legally do when engaging in political and legislative issues. This Liberty Counsel resource helps ministry leaders understand constitutional boundaries while confidently exercising free speech and civic responsibility.

This week Americans will be paying tribute to this century’s likely brightest orator and most dedicated man to individual liberty, Reverend Michael King, Jr., aka Martin Luther King, Jr. While I am almost certain that the good minister from Atlanta, Georgia, would not condone having a day named after him, I do not condone the worthless heaping of accolades by any people group who co-opt, blindly turn from, or outright despise the Christian minister’s teachings.  Immorality, t
