From the Doctrine and Covenants of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints<\/a>, I quote the words of the Savior:<\/p>\n

\n

77 According to the laws and a<\/sup>constitution<\/a> of the people, which I have suffered to be established, and should be maintained for the b<\/sup>rights<\/a> and protection of all flesh, according to just and holy principles; <\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

78 That every man may act in doctrine and principle pertaining to futurity, according to the moral a<\/sup>agency<\/a> which I have given unto him, that every man may be b<\/sup>accountable<\/a> for his own sins in the day of c<\/sup>judgment<\/a>. <\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

79 Therefore, it is not right that any man should be in a<\/sup>bondage<\/a> one to another. <\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

80 And for this purpose have I established the a<\/sup>Constitution<\/a> of this land, by the hands of wise men whom I raised up unto this very purpose, and redeemed the land by the b<\/sup>shedding<\/a> of blood. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

(D&C 101: 77-80<\/a>)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
