The most important is the 1st - Freedom of religion, freedom of speech, press, assembly, and petition. Listed 2nd is the right to keep and bear arms. Of note, a short 30 years after the Bil...

The Constitution and the LDS Faith
Anyone familiar with the LDS faith knows that LDS folks have a peculiar relationship between the law and the way they conduct their lives.

Re: Utahns, how excited are you about Mitt Romney

Re: Utahns, how excited are you about Mitt Romney
Yes he did. That is a plus. Surely though you are not using that to defend Trump as a man of his word? Trump is a man of his word when it comes to the rule of law and the constitution.
