The American Creed

I believe in the United States of America
As a government of the people, by the people, for the people
Whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed
A democracy in a republic;
A sovereign Nation of many sovereign States;
A perfect Union, one and inseparable;
Established upon the principles of freedom, equality, justice, and humanity
For which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.
I therefore believe it is my duty to my country
To love it
To support its Constitution
To obey its laws;
To protect its flag and defend it against all enemies.

William Tyler Page
