I Believe in the United States
of America as a government of
the people, by the people, for the
people whose Just powers are derived
from the consent of the gov-
erned; a democracy in a. republic;
a sovereign Nation of many sovereign
States; a. perfect Union, one and insepar-
able, established upon those principles of
freedom, equality, justice, and Immunity
for which American patriots sacri-
ficed their lives and fortunes.
I therefore believe it is my duty
to my country to love it; to sup-
port its Constitution; to obey
its laws; to respect its flag,
and to defend it against
all enemies.
