Summary

In the second installment of looking at some genius ideas that made America what it is today, we talk about how the early American founders understood that if you give one man too much power, they will abuse it, and it with corrupt them. In order to keep that from happening, they brilliantly decided to keep those powers separated! The Legislative, Executive, and Judicial branches of power! Which, in case you didn't know, actually comes from the Bible! Isaiah 33:22 says "For the Lord is our Judge, The Lord is our Lawgiver, The Lord is our King; He will save us."

understand that America has been unique in all of the world,

0:46.5

but because the form of our government was patterned after God's ideas of government and his

0:53.1

ideas of the church and the family.

0:55.1

And to the degree that those ways have been followed,

0:57.9

it's produced maximal blessing and human flourishing.

1:02.1

And that's what we want to get back to in this nation that we love.

1:06.1

And so we talked about the first genius idea of the American Republic

1:10.7

was that the American Republic was that the American

1:12.6

Republic was not a democracy.

1:16.3

Now, we like to talk about the democratic process, and that's good.

1:18.7

We want to vote.

1:19.4

We want to be represented by our values represented through our votes.

1:24.4

But the idea that we are just patterned after the old Greek democracy,

1:28.3

no, those were tyrannies because you'd have the majority of the people trample over the rights
