The Constitution Revered

In his farewell address to the Mormon Battalion in July 1846 at Council Bluffs, Iowa, Brigham Young declared that the Constitution of the United States, as framed by the founders, was dictated, revealed, and placed in their hearts by the Almighty, affirmed that it was as good as he could ask for, urged his listeners to magnify the laws, and said that there was no law in the United States or in the Constitution that he was not ready to make honorable.
