Political liberty, by submitting to all the citizens, without exception, the care and assessment of their most sacred interests, enlarges their spirit, ennobles their thoughts, and establishes among them a kind of intellectual equality that forms the glory and power of a people.

Ben Constant presumably meant well, but by totally leaving God and God’s laws totally out of the picture totally missed the boat. Christopher Ferrara, even though a die-hard Roman Catholic, nicely reveals Ben’s error in the Ferrara book, “Liberty: The God That Failed.”
