"Like a bad tooth or a lame foot is reliance on the unfaithful in times of trouble.... If your enemy is hungry, give him foot to eat; if he is thirsty, give him water to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head, and the LORD will reward you.... Like a muddied spring or a polluted well is a righteous man who gives way to the wicked."
- Proverbs 25:19, 21-22, 26 (NIV)

Have you ever read the Constitution and wondered “what were the Founders intentions behind this or that phrase?” The US Constitution in the Resources section contains online references to the Federalist Papers – an early work by three founding fathers on the intention of each section of the US Constitution. But, if you are looking for something more lively, you could turn to the records of the continental congress link in the Resources section, under Congressional Records, or Elliot's or Farrand's records of the debates, or read about the intentions in the more personalized correspondence, writings and letters of the founders.
