What makes America superior to any Nation in History ? Are the American people more intelligent than other peoples of the world ? How so, aren't all descendants of immigrants ? I submit that the USA became the Greatest Nation, morally, economically and militarily in History because of the Constitutional system our forefathers gave us;( this quote from Ben Franklin Say's it all !) "Freedom is not a gift bestowed upon us by other men, but a right that belongs to us by the laws of God and nature."
Benjamin Franklin. The U.S. Constitution is the only document in the history of the world that acknowledges our freedom comes from the laws of "God and nature" thus giving us "we the people" the power to choose the leaders we want to represent us in the government. When we allow ourselves to b...e "ruled" we will lose our freedom ! "He therefore is the truest friend to the liberty of this country who tries most to promote its virtue, and who, so far as his power and influence extend, will not suffer a man to be chosen into any office of power and trust who is not a wise and virtuous man....The sum of all is, if we would most truly enjoy this gift of Heaven, let us become a virtuous people."
Samuel Adams
"It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religions, but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ. For this very reason peoples of other faiths have been afforded asylum, prosperity, and freedom of worship here." Patrick Henry
"The Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people, it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government -- lest it come to dominate our lives and interests."
Patrick Henry
