Political Allegiance

       God provided that in this land of liberty our political allegiance shall run not to individuals, that is, to government officials, no matter how great or how small they may be.  Under His plan our allegiance and the only allegiance we owe as citizens or denizens of the United States, runs to our inspired Constitution which God himself set up.  So runs the oath of office of those who participate in government.  A certain loyalty we do owe to the office which a man holds, but even here we owe, just by reason of our citizenship, no loyalty to the man himself.  In other countries it is to the individual that allegiance runs.  This principle of allegiance to the Constitution is basic to our freedom.  It is one of the great principles that distinguishes this "land of liberty" from other countries.

-J. Reuben Clark
