Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Oration: Delivered at Petersham, July 4, 1806, at the Anniversary Commemoration of American Independence Nations, like the individuals who compose them, have their progress and decline. The causes, which contribute to prolong their existence, or accelerate their fall, may arise from external influence or violence, as well as from defects, in the forms of the constitution, and from a degeneracy of the national spirit. The legitimate design of all government is to secure men in the enjoyment of their natural rights. For this purpose, however, different nations have adopted different political constitutions, as best accorded with the genius and manners of the people. The form of government, therefore, in every nation is rather the result of public sentiment, than the cause which produces it. And, though a constitution defining the different powers of the government, may favour the preservation of civil liberty; yet, when its sacred barriers are trampled under foot, who shall avenge the violated instrument, and vindicate the rights of the people?
