Joseph F. Smith said: “The Lord Almighty requires this people to observe the laws of the land, to be subject to “the powers that be,” (D&C 58:22) so far as they abide by the fundamental principles of good government, but He will hold them responsible if they will pass unconstitutional measures and frame unjust and proscriptive laws, as did Nebuchadnezzar and Darius, in relation to the three Hebrew children (Dan. 3:1-30) and Daniel. (Dan. 6:1-28) If lawmakers have a mind to violate their oath, break their covenants and their faith with the people, and depart from the provisions of the Constitution where is the law human or divine, which binds me, as an individual, to outwardly and openly proclaim my acceptance of their acts?” (Journal of Discourses 23:71)
~A Friend of the Constitution
