The Constitution Provides No Immunity Against Sin
"The men who asserted federal power did so in the name of statist or federal sovereignty. The constitutionalists opposed them in the name of the law of the land, the U.S. Constitution. The Constitution, whatever its merits, gave and gives no immunity against the sinfulness of men. The Constitution presupposes sin with its checks and balances, expressed powers, and the Bill of Rights, but it cannot alter nor eliminate the fact of sin. Where and when the churches fail in their task, no constitution and no law can prevent the destruction of freedom and order." ~ R. J. Rushdoony, Sovereignty, p.54
