“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”
U.S. Declaration of Independence
“We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.”
Preamble of the U.S. Constitution
The Declaration of Independence and the Constitution form the basis of our government as a Republic. Our Nation’s founders had it right; these are the foundational documents that spell out our path for “Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” As Americans, it is our responsibility and solemn duty to ensure that we maintain the “Blessings of Liberty, to ourselves and our Posterity…”
Our Republic is the best form of government established to date.
Our founding fathers and their fellow citizens had courage and commitment to ensure the success of freedom and the republic.
We must have the same courage and commitment.
