The American's Creed
(1917)
|
"I believe in the United
States of America as a Goverument 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 pairiots
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 its
enemies."
William Tyler
