The United States of America is its self a miracle country. A small group of colonists should never have been able to defeat a super power nation. Not only is this nation and its land blessed but the government that governs it as well. Everything about the U.S. Constitution is in some part divinely inspired. Just the pure fact that all of the 13 different states even consented to attempt to create a united government was huge, but that they actually all agreed and created one is purely amazing. George Washington himself admitted that it was a miracle that all of the delegates agreed to meet up.
America was a country full of people who had fled their homes to pursue a new life and freedoms. Many left England to pursue religious freedom. It was necessary to Heavenly Father’s plan to have a free land where his gospel could be restored and preached to all people. The United States Constitution outlines the direct powers of the new U.S. government. Nowhere do these powers include making an official religion. This allows all citizens to practice whatever religion they please, within legal limits of course. That is the way that God wanted it to be and so it that is the way that the U.S. Constitution was set up.
The men who helped outline and who actually wrote the U.S. Constitution were very well educated and smart men. They were all saved for the day when our country needed to be molded. They were sent with open minds and hearts to build up our nation. They were also well versed in government and had done the necessary prep work to be able to draft a long lasting document. All of these men were sent here and had been spiritually prepared to help build out nation. Each of them responded to the call to come and be not just men of words but men of action.
The U.S. Constitution is still a beacon of hope today and has inspired many written constitutions in many countries. All of the men who wrote it were all sent for a purpose and all of the words in the document are there for good reason. Our country could never have defeated such a great nation as Britain if it had not been for God. When his nation was established he sent wise men here to help set the frame work for his nation of Zion.
It was a good essay but there were many specific points that you did not touch on that could have made your essay more effective in answering the question. It would have been better in your essay if you would have quoted Elder Oaks and what he said in answering these questions.

You had great points. It was good, but could have been more well written. Using evidence from scriptures or Dallin H. Oaks talk would have enhanced the essay.
