First Principles: Virtue Is the Foundation of A Free Constitution

“The only foundation of a free Constitution is pure virtue.” – John Adams (1776)

A person seems to keep wanting me to say something more than the founders of our republic said.  The choice posed to me is am I saying our government isn’t enough.  Did our founders ever say it was?  To the contrary, these founders rested the good of our government on a deeper private virtue.  So say the founders and I do agree.
