The Statue of Liberty

Freedom, Liberty, Rights, Law & Justice


A Democratic Republic, a 'Great Experiment' in the United States


A foundation of rights, human rights, individual rights, put forward with and embodied in a founding Constitution, Bill of Rights and government envisioning a living Democratic Republic. Ours is a democracy, a republic, a work-in-progress continuing to this day, a heritage worth protecting... “We hold these truths to be self-evident”.... “all men are created equal”... they have the right to “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness”, and with rights to live under a government of their own choosing.

We recall a quote of Benjamin Franklin responding to a question in 1787 about the newly announced birth of the US as he left Independence Hall after the Constitutional Convention:

We have "a Republic, if you can keep it."
