What directives from the Ten Commandments should still govern our leaders today?

Commandments  7 &  8

Explanation:

United States is a country that impose a freedom for religion to all citizens. Forcing the leaders to follow 10 commandments would be violating this freedom. That's being said, there are three Christian commandments that generally applicable to all leaders regardless of their religion :

- Commandments 7 :You shall not steal

Government officials have the power to control the money that the citizens pay through their taxes. The amount was so large to the point where it is extremely difficult for the people to know if they take some of that money.

Leaders should be the people who are ethical and would dedicate all of those resources solely for the people rather than themselves.

- Commandments 8 : You shall not bear false witnesses against your neighbors.

Government officials are in competition against one another in order to win the favor of the people .They often spread misinformation about each other in order to sway public opinions to their advantage. Ideal leaders shouldn't do this under any circumstances.
