"I know there have been other constitutions; new ones are being drawn today by newly emerging nations. Most of them - even the one of the Soviet Union - contain many of the same guarantees as our own Constitution; and still there is a difference. The difference is so subtle that we often overlook it, but it is so great that it tells the whole story. Those other constitutions say, "Government grants you these rights," and ours says, "You are born with these rights, they are yours by the grace of God, and no government on earth can take them from you." I have always believed that there was some Divine plan that placed this great continent between two oceans to be sought out by those who were possessed of an abiding love of freedom and a special kind of courage..." Ronald Reagan - 1974
