Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Man in America: Six Thousand Years From Eden to Independence Hall I. Pennsylvania is the Keystone of the Arch emblematic of the United States, designed and erected by the architects and builders of the Republic, to span time, combine strength and inspire love of commonwealth and country. II. Agriculture and Manufactures are the Pillars of the Arch, representing the industries and interests of town and country, the two sources of trade in the two conditions of society organized by Adam´s race, for mutual support out of the products of husbandry and the arts, which together include all the varieties of labor, manual and mental, in door and out, and jointly make a market for sellers and consumers, and so provide for the necessities of nature and the comforts and conveniences that charm household life; thus showing that Agriculture and Manufactures are both necessary to the nation for the common good of the states, as the two sexes are necessary for the propagation of the human species. III. And the Foundations of the Arch, which stands on a rock where the wind and rain beat against it, but harm it not, for it is concreted in a hundred years of political weather, sunshine and shower, are the Declaration of Independence by the Continental Congress, at Philadelphia, July 4, 1776, and the Constitution of the United States, adopted in National Convention, George Washington, President, at Philadelphia, September 17, 1787. IV. The Declaration gave man his first firm foothold, to stand to his guns on battle ground, for equality in civil rights. The Constitution is the perpetual charter of the Union, with vested powers granted by the states, not for consolidation into a centralized government, but, on the contrary, to enforce the agreement of the states, fraternize interstate interests and regulate national and international affairs. And these grand objects it has consummated in the rise of the nation to greatness among the powers, with commercial interests as wide as the world.
