"The Constitution, like a dutiful parent to its children, provides a loving, nurturing environment for the people of this country to grow and prosper in their own rights. But is this all that matters? Is all we care about in our families that we ourselves are safe, and not our loved ones as well? No, the Constitution as a parent provides an environment for us to protect our brothers and sisters as well. Benjamin Franklin, when asked what type of government the Constitution had created, replied, 'A republic, if you can keep it.' ""
