In Defense of the Ten Commandments


"A CALL TO STAND" by John Eidsmoe

The controversy over the 10 commandments case in Alabama illustrates how little most citizens really understand about our true American heritage.

This article, written by Law professor and constitutional scholar, John Eidsmoe, explains in historic terms how such stands - as that taken by Chief Justice Moore - helped shape the founding of America and gave us our liberties.  Dr. Eidsmoe answers the following questions:

(1) whether our legal system may acknowledge the Higher Law of God as the source and measure of our laws;

(2) whether the establishment clause of the First Amendment prohibits the State of Alabama from acknowledging God and His law as the moral foundation of law;

(3) whether the State of Alabama (and the 49 other states) are distinctive and viable entities in the American constitutional system or whether they are merely closely supervised subdivisions of a national government; and

(4) whether it is ever appropriate to disobey the order of a federal judge

The appearance of this article does indeed express an enthusiastic endorsement of it’s conclusions by American Heritage Research.  Please download and distribute as far and wide as possible.
