The United States began as a nation of people determined that liberty is fundamental to life. This isn't commonplace even today. It was unique then and can only be understood by examining our country's heritage. We created something new in government - a democratic republic with novel protections for "life, liberty, and property." Because we understood that liberty is fragile, we bet the future of our country on the strength of those protections. And America became the most successful of countries if personal liberty, wellbeing, and prosperity are the measures.
