Of this spirit one of the noblest expressions is the Constitution of the United States.
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 must champion the human soul in its God-given right to exercise freely the faculties of mind and body.
Its protection should be given to those of superior skill and diligence, who ask the due rewards of such superiority.
