Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Declaration of Independence "The Declaration of Independence is as much alive to-day as when it was born one hundred and twenty-four years ago. It is immortal. Its vitality is attested by the fresh interest in it during the past year when it has been more discussed in Congress and in the press than in any former year. Although it is the Bible of our politics, enshrined in the hearts of our people and beyond criticism, beyond eulogy, it is, like the Bible of our religion, subject to interpretation. No political sect can claim it as exclusively its own, all political sects may claim an equal title to it. As on this Independence Day we rise to an independence of political parties, rise from being Republicans or Democrats to be Americans, so we may assert amid our conflicting opinions about the Declaration of Independence, that it is our common possession, our common source of inspiration. No individual or set of individuals can monopolize either the immortal Declaration or the American flag, but there is enough of both for us all. Expansionist or anti-expansionist, strict constructionist or liberal constructionist, whatever we may be called, we are one in our admiration and veneration for this great paper issued by a Congress unexcelled, as Lord Chatham said, ´in solidity of reasoning, force of sagacity and wisdom of conclusion.´ No one now reads Magna Charta. It is only a name to round a period. No one but lawyers and students reads the Constitution of the United States, but we all read the Declaration of Independence at least once a year, and its striking passages are household words. None of us look at the original in the safe at the library of the State Department without a thrill of exaltation. "Yet we may and do honestly differ about it. Is it poetry? Is it prose?
