The Clean Face of a Dirty Business

Written by Thomas Hampson

John Adams’s test of character, the Pritzker story J.B. tells, and the history the polished biographies leave out

“Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious People. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”John Adams, October 11, 1798 [1]

John Adams was not advocating a religious test for office. He was arguing that in self-government, our constitution—our laws—cannot replace character. In the same letter, Adams warned that avarice, ambition, revenge, and other passions, if unrestrained by morality and religion, could break even the strongest constitutional restraints.… Continue Reading

Unfortunately, but unsurprisingly, this bill passed both Houses with Democrats in favor and Republicans in opposition.
