That vision still remains as an ideal with the American people and still leads them to ever-higher achievements, for in all the mad changes of a frenzied hour, they have not yet lost faith in or love for the Constitution of the Fathers!
It did not believe that the State was omnipotent or infallible, and yet it proclaimed its authority within wise and just limits.
It must champion the human soul in its God-given right to exercise freely the faculties of mind and body.
We must defend the right to work against those who would either destroy or degrade it.
