The prophets and apostles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints have spoken with remarkable clarity and power on the subjects of freedom, constitutional government, the dangers of socialism and tyranny, the sacred duty of civic participation, and the divine nature of moral agency. Their words are not merely political commentary — they are prophetic warnings and inspired teachings given to a people whom God has charged with a special responsibility to uphold and defend liberty.
The pages in this section gather those teachings by theme, so that you may study what the Lord’s servants have said on each of these vital subjects. Read them prayerfully. These are not the words of politicians or philosophers alone — they are the words of men who stood at the watchtower of freedom and sounded the alarm.
“I reverence the Constitution of the United States as a sacred document. To me its words are akin to the revelations of God, for God has placed His stamp of approval on the Constitution of this land. I testify that the God of Heaven sent some of His choicest spirits to lay the foundation of this government, and He has sent other choice spirits — even you who read my words — to preserve it.”
— President Ezra Taft Benson, Teachings of Ezra Taft Benson, p. 614
