Defending the Constitution can feel like too big of a job or too outside of our control, but it’s actually a place where our dedication can make a big impact.
Here are several practical, simple actions from President Oaks you can take to uphold the Constitution — starting today.
“Defending Our Divinely Inspired Constitution,” 2021 April General Conference
"We should trust in the Lord and be positive about this nation's future"
"We must pray for the Lord to guide and bless all nations and their leaders."
"Being subject to presidents or rulers of course poses no obstacle to our opposing individual laws or policies."
"We exercise our influence civilly and peacefully within the framework of our constitutions and applicable laws. On contested issues, we should seek to moderate and unify."
"We should learn and advocate the inspired principles of the Constitution . . . We should be knowledgeable citizens who are active in making our influence felt in civic affairs."
"We should seek out and support wise and good persons who will support those principles in their public actions."
"Political influence is exercised by runny for office (which we encourage), by voting, by financial support, by membership and service in political parties, and by ongoing communications to officials, parties, and candidates. To function well, a democracy needs all of these, but a conscientious citizen does not need to provide all of them."
