The Book of Mormon, a critique of Law, Foreign Policy, and Liberty

The Book of Mormon is a moral compass for evaluating good government structure, principles, and law. By applying the principles of faith, hope and charity to government it becomes clear what the ideal functioning state of government could be for the benefit and welfare of the people government serves. Good government benefits the people it serves and it is not oppressive. When governments become big business than morality is replace with expediency and the interest of the people are not necessarily serviced.
When governments believe they solve all the problems of society, they then ignore the power and importance of communities and states to solve problems like poverty, border management, commerce, and crime. We are much more than cogs in a large machine. We are human beings capable of faith, hope, and charity to other human beings. It becomes our sacred responsibility to hold government accountable for the preservation of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
