JUDICIAL VICTIMS IN AMERICA
|
AMERICA, STILL THE GREATEST NATION ON EARTH |
AMERICA IS A CHOICE LAND
But we have a heavy responsibility. The price of freedom is not cheap. We must be ever vigilant. Man in almost every political situation can become drunk with power and tyranny can become his by-product. This nation is not exempt from tyrannical forces at work in the world today.
ON TYRANNY
FROM A TALK ON THE U.S. CONSTITUTION
We are deaf today to the approach of tyranny because we have lived so long under the protection of the Constitution that we take for granted the blessings of liberty. But the framers of the Constitution having had bitter experience with tyranny, wrote it with the purpose to preserve the right of local self-government-which had been the fundamental principle on which the war of the Revolution was fought. They were not dreamers but practical men of wide experience and they wrote into that document the fruition of human experience in self-government. Prospering under the privileges insured by the Constitution this country has advanced as no other in a like period in all history. We need more people today with strong convictions in support of the Constitution and with courage to stand back of their convictions. We need men with courage to refuse support to every effort aimed at undermining the Constitution. Any change in our social order which is really desirable can be effected under the Constitution or by orderly Constitutional amendment rather than by efforts to evade its provisions. We must continue to protect ourselves against the approach of tyranny in any guise.
INROADS UPON THE CONSTITUTION BY THE ROMAN LAW
Now, in the last years, we in America have gone a long distance towards the adoption of the Roman concepts and the abuses against property rights and human freedom and liberties which are possible under that system. And let me say here and now that in the whole history of the human race, from Adam until now, Tyranny has never come to live with any people with a placard on his breast bearing his name. He always comes in deep disguise sometimes proclaiming and endowment of freedom, sometimes promising help to the unfortunate and downtrodden, not by creating something for those who do not have, but by robbing those who have. But Tyranny is always a wolf in sheep's clothing , and he always ends by devouring the whole flock, saving none.
WHY I AM AN AMERICAN
A REPRINT FROM THE CONGRESSIONAL RECORD, JUNE 11 1940 BY J. RUEBEN CLARK, former Solicitor for the Department of State , Under-Secretary of State and Ambassador to Mexico during his service to the nation.
I am an American because I believe in a government of laws and not of men and in a national allegiance to high principle and lofty ideal instead of to a personal sovereign.
I am an American because I believe in a government with three distinct separate branches each mutually independent of the other, with no power of delegation or appropriation of rights or powers by any one to or from any other.
I am an American because I believe that government must derive its "just powers from the consent of the governed" and that branches of government and officers shall have such powers and such only as shall be given by the people; because I believe that the assumption by branches of government or by officers of rights or powers not specifically conferred upon them is usurpation; and because impeachment or other trial lies against any officer who so usurps rights or powers not specifically conferred.
I am an American because I believe in the greatest possible measure of self-government and because I believe in a federal system of government which keeps local affairs in the hands of local governments.
I am an American because I believe in a bill of rights which places wholly beyond the reach of lawful government certain matters affecting "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness," and specifically the right of freedom of conscience and worship, the right of free speech and a free press, the right to peaceably to assemble and petition government, and the right to gain and hold property with molestation except by due process of law.
I am an American because under our form of government the people of the United States have made a progress never before made by any other people in the world in an equal time during the whole period of recorded history.
I am an American because standards of life and of living of the entire American people are far beyond those enjoyed by any other people in any other part of the world, either now or at any other time, which is a living testimony and evidence of the kindly beneficence of our free institutions.
I am an American because this Nation has no scheme or plan of conquest, because it has a respect for the rights of other peoples and of other nations, because it promotes justice and honor in the relationships of nations, because it loves the ways of peace as against war, as shown by the repeated peaceful adjustment of its own international disputes, because it has conquered the land greed which so afflicts the nations of the world, as demonstrated in Cuba and the Philippines.
I am an American because my country abolished slavery after it had become deep-rooted and because men still are free to work, and are secure in the enjoyment of the products of their labor. I am an American because I firmly and earnestly believe that the Constitution is an inspired document designed by our Maker to set up a government which would make sure and secure the rights set forth in the Bill of Rights, and particularly the right of freedom of conscience and worship.
I am an American because I believe that the destiny of America is to be the abiding place of liberty and free institutions and that its own practice and enjoyment of these blessings shall be to the world a beacon light which shall radiate its influence by peaceful means to the uttermost parts of the world to the uplifting of all humanity.
GOD BLESS AMERICA
