TheAmerican's Creed

http://imgbox.com/MS26xM7n This is the American's Creed we recited in school in the 1960s, along with the Pledge of Allegiance: "I believe in the United States of America as a government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed, a democracy in a republic, a sovereign Nation of many sovereign States; a perfect union, one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice, and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes. "I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it, to support its Constitution, to obey its laws, to respect its flag, and to defend it against all enemies." http://www.nationalwarmemorialregist...morial-marker/ https://i.pinimg.com/736x/66/54/df/6...-americans.jpg It is a statement of the defining element of American identity, first formulated by Thomas Jefferson and elaborated by many others, that includes liberty, equality, individualism, populism, and laissez faire. The creed is an element of American exceptionalism, with British writer G. K. Chesterton claiming "America is the only nation in the world that is founded on a creed." |
