Bill > H4568

This resolution is a South Carolina House of Representatives measure that officially acknowledges Jesus Christ as the Lord and King of all nations, positioning this belief as a fundamental limitation on human governmental power and the foundation of the republican form of government. Drawing on historical references including the state constitution, the Declaration of Independence, and quotes from founding figures like George Washington, the resolution argues that recognizing a divine supreme authority prevents governments from becoming tyrannical and usurping individual freedoms. The resolution rejects attempts to prevent legislators and government officials from referencing biblical principles, declares a state policy of respecting the "revealed will of the Creator," and affirms South Carolina's gratitude to God for liberties as the state approaches the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. Specifically, the resolution makes four key declarations: officially acknowledging Jesus Christ's lordship, protecting the freedom to reference holy scriptures, committing to laws that respect the Creator's will, and reaffirming confidence in the God-honoring principles of the nation's founding documents.
