"A constitution founded on these principles introduces knowledge among the people, and inspires them with a conscious dignity becoming freemen; a general emulation takes place, which causes good humor, sociability, good manners, and good morals to be general. That elevation of sentiment inspired by such a government, makes the common people brave and enterprising. That ambition which is inspired by it makes them sober, industrious, and frugal." -John Adams, Thoughts on Government, 1776
Which by the way, the Progressive Movement since 1910, the Humanist Manifestos 1 and 2, and Alinksy's "Rules for Radicals" turns upside down and destroys. YOU SHOULD read this stuff as part of YOUR self-education efforts.
