Abstract
The article emphasizes that the foundational value of the United States is liberty, distinguishing it as a creedal nation rather than an ethnic one. It discusses the historical context of the American Revolution, highlighting that many revolutionaries viewed themselves as British patriots defending their rights rather than rejecting British values. The piece reflects on the enduring significance of the U.S. Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, suggesting that these documents symbolize a commitment to individual rights and governance by laws rather than individuals. It raises concerns about contemporary political trends that may diverge from these foundational principles, urging a renewed focus on civic education and the ideals of liberty as the nation approaches its 250th anniversary.
