I think you don't understand the Constitution either.
What in the constitution would be inspired by God? Separation of powers? Checks and balances? Bicameral legislative bodies? Certainly not the bill of rights. I don't know of any stories of God that mention that people have any rights.
So what is the inspiration you are talking about?

I'm sure that you have a sound understanding of the intention behind the Constitution, its just that I don't see how you can insert god in there when its obvious that its a manmade proposition. The document is flawed without a doubt but it is still the finest effort by man for the basis on which to build a nation. If it had a provision for the abolition of slavery then I would agree that it was inspired by a higher being. If it didn't have so many huge gaps which leave it wide open for interpretation then I agree on its inspiration. Inspired by god implies perfection and nothing man has ever created ever came close to perfection.

All 55 who wrote the Constitution were men of God, who read and understood God's Word - The Holy Bible, which is the Inspired Word of God into the hearts of those whom He chose to write the Bible.
I do know this, the Ten Commandments were used as the primary guide to create the laws of our Nation.

Of course the Constitution was inspired by God. This world was created by God to serve his purpose, not to serve man's purpose. Do you think God would create this world and sit back helpless and let men steal it for their own uses?
God foresaw WW2, God foresaw the need for a country across a ocean to defeat Nazi Germany so the Jews would be saved.
The plan is in place only the people must chose between good and evil in order to chose their reward all on their own.

I think it might be a Biblical stretch to suggest that the US Constitution was "inspired of God."
But I will tell you this: It will be war if they try to change it, because it's the best thing this world has to offer.

You can believe that. The Constitution says that everyone has a right to freedom of religion. I don't agree with you, but you can understand it however you want to.

Not sure what you mean by "inspired" by God. It was based on Judeo-Christian principles.
