Americanism

Principles of Americanism

The characteristic that distinguishes our form of government from others is the recognition of the truth that the inherent and fundamental rights of men are derived from God and not from governments, dictators, or majorities.

The unalienable rights, which are the gifts of man from his Creator are: freedom of worship;

freedom of speech and press;

freedom of assemblage;

freedom to work in such occupation as the experience, training and qualifications of man may enable him to secure and hold;

freedom to enjoy the fruits of his work, which means the protection of property rights;

and the right to pursue his happiness so long as he does not harm others in the pursuit of this happiness.

Upon these basic principles, the structure of our form of government was established.
