Government Structure Failed General Election
✓

PEAPAC Recommends: YES

Biblical government is representative; bureaucrats making laws weakens the separation of powers and accountability.

Summary

Gives the legislature the power to review and veto administrative rules created by state agencies.

Biblical Reasoning

We have said that biblical government is representative government. The movement of the administrative branch of state government into more and more law-making functions weakens the separation of powers, and moves us away from representative government.

1 Peter 2:13-14 — “Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme; Or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well.”
