American Principle Four: All Men Are Equal In the Sight of God and the Law
"that all men are created equal …"
Declaration of Independence
People of different faiths, with different racial and cultural backgrounds, and people who are gifted in different ways are created equal and deserve to be treated equally by the civil and criminal justice systems. Any concept of authoritarianism that presumes to override the sovereignty of man under God over government is a violation of "equal in the sight of God and the law."
"The multitude I am speaking of is the body of people--no contemptible multitude--for whose sake government is instituted; or rather, who have themselves erected it, solely for their own good--to whom even kings and all in subordination to them, are strictly speaking, servants and not masters" (Samuel Adams, essay in the Boston Gazette, 1771).
Samuel Adams
1722-1803
Founding Father of the United States
