(THE FEDERALIST) – Even amidst global lockdowns and a roiling political and cultural debate, the United States remains a land of opportunity and plenty. This is made possible largely because we are citizens of a free country.
“We the people” established our Constitution, not a king, queen, or dictator. Despite our problems, we prosper because America’s government is designed to protect what is already ours—the “Blessings of Liberty” endowed to us by our Creator.
But such lavish rights as we enjoy in America are inevitably taken for granted. So will the responsibilities that come with those liberties. I recently came across a 1948 edition of the “Boy Scout Field Manual,” packed with lessons on camp craft, hiking, and wildlife, as well as on duties toward others, self, and country.
