1787年,剛剛獨立不久的美國十三州代表聚集在費城舉行制憲會議。在此之前,人類社會從未出現過成文憲法。因此制憲既是在制定未來美國政治的框架和所需遵循的最高原則,也是在開創一個先例,即人類憑藉理性和善意協商出解決未來利益紛爭的原則,並永為定例。


儘管願望是美好的,但具體操作時,各方卻多次因利益衝突而令會議陷入僵局。當然最簡單的做法就是拂袖而去,各州繼續各自爲政,形成鬆散邦聯,如此就不會有今天的美國和美國的憲法了。正當大家感到氣憤和絕望時,本傑明-富蘭克林站了起來,向會議主席華盛頓將軍講了這樣一番話:"主席先生,我建議在我們休會之前提名和任命一位牧師,其職責是在我們每天開會之前,帶領我們向創世主禱告,因爲他是天下萬國的王。我們懇請他來主持我們的會議,用天賜的智慧來啓迪我們,讓我們的心中充滿對真理和正義的愛,並保佑我們最後的成功 "。


按照後來的衆議院議長戴頓將軍的回憶,富蘭克林的這番話讓華盛頓將軍及幾乎所有代表悚然動容,他們用欽佩的表情和沉默表達贊許。會議由是得以進行,並最終通過了憲法。


雖然憲法通過了,但美國能否維持在憲法之下的憲政,則是另外一個問題。國父亞當斯說"我們的憲法是爲了有信仰和有道德的人制定的。如果人們失去信仰和道德,憲法將淪爲一紙空文 。"


回顧這段歷史,乃是爲了説明,人類如果要創造文明,依靠個體的力量顯然是做不到的,而人類大面積的分工協作就涉及到社會的組織和管理,而道德敗壞的人既無法自我管理,也不會與他人協作,因此文明只能靠有道德的人來創造。歷史上,當一個社會的道德敗壞時,我們看到的就是天災人禍、國家解體、朝代更迭,乃至文明的沒落和消亡。反過來講,如果中華文明能夠延續五千年,那麽其背後必然有一股强大的維繫道德的力量。因此,我絕不同意"中華沒有文明"或"中國歷史一團漆黑"的偏見Ӎ
