AHTER 1920 0704 Calvin Coolidge - Equal Right

July 4, 1776 was the historic day on which the representatives of three millions of people vocalized on certain Lexington Bunker Hill, which gave notice to the world that they proposed to establish an independent nation.

On the theory that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certainly inalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. The wonder and glory of the American people is not the ringing declaration of that day, but the action then already begun, and in the process of being carried out in spite of every obstacle that bore to be proposed,

making the theory of freedom and equality a reality. We revere that day because it marks the beginnings of independence, the beginnings of a constitution that was finally to give universal freedom and equality to all American citizens, the beginnings of a government that was to recognize beyond all others the power and worth and dignity of man.

The man, Zaya began the first of government to acknowledge that it was founded on the southern field of people. Zaya the world first beheld the revelation of modern democracy. Democracy is not a tearing down.

It is a building up. It is not denial of the divine right of king. It supplements that fame with the assertion of the divine right of all men. It does not destroy its whole field.

It is the confirmation of all theories of government, the spirit of which all the nations of the earth must yield. It is the great construction force of the ages. It is the alpha and omega of man's relation to man's the beginning and the end.
