美國憲法的簽署人之一，James McHenry (November 16, 1753–May 3, 1816)曾說過一段極為精彩與代表真理的話，“Public utility pleads most forcibly for the general distribution of the Holy Scriptures. The doctrine they preach, the obligations they impose, the punishment they threaten, the rewards they promise, the stamp and image of divinity they bear, which produces a conviction of their truths, can alone secure to society, order and peace, and to our courts of justice and constitutions of government, purity, stability and usefulness. In vain, without the Bible, we increase penal laws and draw entrenchments around our institutions. Bibles are strong entrenchments. Where they abound, men cannot pursue wicked courses, and at the same time enjoy quiet conscience.”我認為《聖經》裡的“Self-dignity, Self-control, Self-government, Self-responsibility, Self-protection, Self-defense, Self-directed morals, Self-enforced orientation”等道德理念，是現代Individual rights and individual freedom價值理念的基礎，也是現代Liberal democracy (or constitutional democracy) and Rule of Law文明的基礎。
我認為沒有“Self-dignity, Self-control, Self-government, Self-responsibility, Self-protection, Self-defense, Self-directed morals, Self-enforced orientation”等道德理念，那麼人類的“Liberal democracy (or constitutional democracy) and Rule of Law”就是一疊廢紙，這不就是《欽定憲法大綱》、《中華民國臨時約法》、《中華民國憲法草案》、《袁記約法》、《八年草案》、《曹錕憲法》、《十四年草案》、《中華民國訓政時期約法》、《五五憲草》、《中華民國憲法》、《中華人民共和國憲法》、《零八憲章》等最後都成為廢紙的原因？
