First Presidency (1969) affirming the Constitution being "inspired."
First Presidency Statement, December 15, 1969, in The Improvement Era 73, no. 2 (February 1970): 70
We believe that the Constitution of the United states was divinely inspired, that it was produced by "wise men" whom God raised up for this "very purpose," and that the principles embodied in the Constitution are so fundamental and important that, if possible, they should be extended "for the rights and protection" of all mankind.
