Value of Bill of Rights and Civil War Amendment in Political Structure

The Bill of Rights and Civil War Amendment articulate the inherent and inalienable rights of mankind while also placing limits and checks on the power of individuals over others due to the imperfection and tendency of mankind to oppress. These structures, although not perfect, have inherent value and are currently facing challenges from both the left and the right. It is important to stand in the gap for this structure and recognize its consistency with a Christian ethic. Christian engagement in politics should focus on taking care of the political household rather than trying to get their way in politics.
