Government And Morality In 20Th Century America Essay, Research Paper
Government and Morality in 20th Century America On July 4, 1776, a general congress of the English colonies of the Americas assembled in Philadelphia and combined their experience, education, and frustration to compose the Declaration of Independence. This document, which even today tells the story of how our country was started, speaks of the religious and moral persecution that our forefathers were forced to bear for years upon years. They wanted to “dissolve their political bands” with England to make a free country where no persecution was possible. I, for one, do not believe that a society in which every life is free is possible without some restrictions. Our country was founded upon the principle of freedom to think and live as its citizens please. Is that dream really a reality in our 20th century society, or does it seem as if the dreams of
our founding fathers dreams have been obscured?
