JUSTICE BREWER delivered the opinion of the Court.<p style="box-sizing: border-box;"></p>Plaintiff in error is a corporation duly organized and incorporated as a religious society under the laws of the State of New York. E. Walpole Warren was, prior to September,<p style="box-sizing: border-box;"></p><a class="page-number" name="458" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #06357a; cursor: pointer;">Page 143 U. S. 458</a><p style="box-sizing: border-box;"></p>1887, an alien residing in England. In that month the plaintiff in error made a contract with him by which he was to remove to the City of New York and enter into its service as rector and pastor, and in pursuance of such contract, Warren did so remove and enter upon such service. It is claimed by the United States that this contract on the part of the plaintiff in error was forbidden by 23 Stat. 332, c. 164, and an action was commenced to recover the penalty prescribed by that act. The circuit court held that the contract was within the prohibition of the statute, and rendered judgment accordingly, 36 F. 303, and the single question presented for our determination is whether it erred in that conclusion.<p style="box-sizing: border-box;"></p>The first section describes the act forbidden, and is in these words:<p style="box-sizing: border-box;"></p>"<em style="box-sizing: border-box;">Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,</em> that from and after the passage of this act it shall be unlawful for any person, company, partnership, or corporation, in any manner whatsoever, to prepay the transportation, or in any way assist or encourage the importation or migration, of any alien or aliens, any foreigner or foreigners, into the United States, its territories, or the District of Columbia under contract or agreement, parol or special, express or implied, made previous to the importation or migration of such alien or aliens, foreigner or foreigners, to perform labor or service of any kind in the United States, its territories, or the District of Columbia."<p style="box-sizing: border-box;"></p>It must be conceded that the act of the corporation is within the letter of this section, for the relation of rector to his church is one of service, and implies labor on the one side with compensation on the other. Not only are the general words "labor" and "service" both used, but also, as it were to guard against any narrow interpretation and emphasize a breadth of meaning, to them is added "of any kind," and further, as noticed by the circuit judge in his opinion, the fifth section, which makes specific exceptions, among them professional actors, artists, lecturers, singers, and domestic<p style="box-sizing: border-box;"></p><a class="page-number" name="459" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #06357a; cursor: pointer;">Page 143 U. S. 459</a><p style="box-sizing: border-box;"></p>servants, strengthens the idea that every other kind of labor and service was intended to be reached by the first section. While there is great force to this reasoning, we cannot think Congress intended to denounce with penalties a transaction like that in the present case. It is a familiar rule that a thing may be within the letter of the statute and yet not within the statute because not within its spirit nor within the intention of its makers. This has been often asserted, and the reports are full of cases illustrating its application. This is not the substitution of the will of the judge for that of the legislator, for frequently words of general meaning are used in a statute, words broad enough to include an act in question, and yet a consideration of the whole legislation, or of the circumstances surrounding its enactment, or of the absurd results which follow from giving such broad meaning to the words, makes it unreasonable to believe that the legislator intended to include the particular act. As said in Plowden 205:<p style="box-sizing: border-box;"></p>"From which cases it appears that the sages of the law heretofore have construed statutes quite contrary to the letter in some appearance, and those statutes which comprehend all things in the letter they have expounded to extend to but some things, and those which generally prohibit all people from doing such an act they have interpreted to permit some people to do it, and those which include every person in the letter they have adjudged to reach to some persons only, which expositions have always been founded upon the intent of the legislature, which they have collected sometimes by considering the cause and necessity of making the act, sometimes by comparing one part of the act with another, and sometimes by foreign circumstances."<p style="box-sizing: border-box;"></p>In <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">Margate Pier Co. v. Hannam,</em> 3 B. & Ald. 266, 270, Abbott, C.J., quotes from Lord Coke as follows: "Acts of Parliament are to be so construed as no man that is innocent or free from injury or wrong be, by a literal construction, punished or endangered." In the case of <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">State v. Clark,</em> 29 N.J.Law 96, 98-99, it appeared that an act had been passed making it a misdemeanor to willfully break down a fence in the possession of another person. Clark was indicted<p style="box-sizing: border-box;"></p><a class="page-number" name="460" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #06357a; cursor: pointer;">Page 143 U. S. 460</a><p style="box-sizing: border-box;"></p>under that statute. The defense was that the act of breaking down the fence, though willful, was in the exercise of a legal right to go upon his own lands. The trial court rejected the testimony offered to sustain the defense, and the supreme court held that this ruling was error. In its opinion, the court used this language:<p style="box-sizing: border-box;"></p>"The act of 1855, in terms, makes the willful opening, breaking down, or injuring of any fences belonging to or in the possession of any other person a misdemeanor. In what sense is the term 'willful' used? In common parlance, 'willful' is used in the sense of 'intentional,' as distinguished from 'accidental' or 'involuntary.' Whatever one does intentionally, he does willfully. Is it used in that sense in this act? Did the legislature intend to make the intentional opening of a fence for the purpose of going upon the land of another indictable if done by permission or for a lawful purpose? . . . We cannot suppose such to have been the actual intent. To adopt such a construction would put a stop to the ordinary business of life. The language of the act, if construed literally, evidently leads to an absurd result. If a literal construction of the words of a statute be absurd, the act must be so construed as to avoid the absurdity. The court must restrain the words. The object designed to be reached by the act must limit and control the literal import of the terms and phrases employed."<p style="box-sizing: border-box;"></p>In <em style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span class="l-italics" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><a href="https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/74/482/" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #06357a; cursor: pointer; text-decoration-line: none;">United States v. Kirby</a>,</span></em> 7 Wall. 482, <span class="l-normaldigitafter" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><a href="https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/74/482/#486" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #06357a; cursor: pointer; text-decoration-line: none;">74 U. S. 486</a></span>, the defendants were indicted for the violation of an act of Congress providing<p style="box-sizing: border-box;"></p>"that if any person shall knowingly and willfully obstruct or retard the passage of the mail, or of any driver or carrier, or of any horse or carriage carrying the same, he shall, upon conviction, for every such offense, pay a fine not exceeding one hundred dollars."<p style="box-sizing: border-box;"></p>The specific charge was that the defendants knowingly and willfully retarded the passage of one Farris, a carrier of the mail, while engaged in the performance of his duty, and also in like manner retarded the steamboat <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">General Buell,</em> at that time engaged in carrying the mail. To this indictment the defendants pleaded specially that Farris had been indicted for murder by a court of competent authority in Kentucky; that a bench-warrant had been issued and<p style="box-sizing: border-box;"></p><a class="page-number" name="461" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #06357a; cursor: pointer;">Page 143 U. S. 461</a><p style="box-sizing: border-box;"></p>placed in the hands of the defendant Kirby, the sheriff of the county, commanding him to arrest Farris and bring him before the court to answer to the indictment, and that, in obedience to this warrant, he and the other defendants, as his posse, entered upon the steamboat <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">General Buell</em> and arrested Farris, and used only such force as was necessary to accomplish that arrest. The question as to the sufficiency of this plea was certified to this Court, and it was held that the arrest of Farris upon the warrant from the state court was not an obstruction of the mail or the retarding of the passage of a carrier of the mail within the meaning of the act. In its opinion, the Court says:<p style="box-sizing: border-box;"></p>"All laws should receive a sensible construction. General terms should be so limited in their application as not to lead to injustice, oppression, or an absurd consequence. It will always therefore be presumed that the legislature intended exceptions to its language which would avoid results of this character. The reason of the law in such cases should prevail over its letter. The common sense of man approves the judgment mentioned by Puffendorf, that the Bolognian law which enacted 'that whoever drew blood in the streets should be punished with the utmost severity' did not extend to the surgeon who opened the vein of a person that fell down in the street in a fit. The same common sense accepts the ruling, cited by Plowden, that the statute of 1st Edw. II which enacts that a prisoner who breaks prison shall be guilty of felony, does not extend to a prisoner who breaks out when the prison is on fire, 'for he is not to be hanged because he would not stay to be burnt.' And we think that a like common sense will sanction the ruling we make, that the act of Congress which punishes the obstruction or retarding of the passage of the mail, or of its carrier, does not apply to a case of temporary detention of the mail caused by the arrest of the carrier upon an indictment for murder."<p style="box-sizing: border-box;"></p>The following cases may also be cited: <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">Henry v.

S. 386</a></span>, Chief Justice Marshall said:<p style="box-sizing: border-box;"></p>"On the influence which the title ought to have in construing the enacting clauses much has been said, and yet it is not easy to discern the point of difference between the opposing counsel in this respect. Neither party contends that the title of an act can control plain words in the body of the statute, and neither denies that, taken with other parts, it may assist in removing ambiguities. Where the intent is plain, nothing is left to construction. Where the mind labors to discover the design of the legislature, it seizes everything from which aid can be derived, and in such case the title claims a degree of notice, and will have its due share of consideration."<p style="box-sizing: border-box;"></p>And in the case of <em style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span class="l-italics" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><a href="https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/16/610/" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #06357a; cursor: pointer; text-decoration-line: none;">United States v.

S. 631</a></span>, the same judge applied the doctrine in this way:<p style="box-sizing: border-box;"></p>"The words of the section are in terms of unlimited extent. The words 'any person or persons' are broad enough to comprehend every human being. But general words must not only be limited to cases within the jurisdiction of the state, but also to those objects to which the legislature intended to apply them. Did the legislature intend to apply these words to the subjects of a foreign power, who in a foreign ship may commit murder or robbery on the high seas? The title of an act cannot control its words, but may furnish some aid in showing what was in the mind of the legislature. The title of this act is 'An act for the punishment of certain crimes against the United States.' It would seem that offenses against the United States, not offenses against the human race, were the crimes which the legislature intended by this law to punish. "<p style="box-sizing: border-box;"></p><a class="page-number" name="463" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #06357a; cursor: pointer;">Page 143 U. S. 463</a><p style="box-sizing: border-box;"></p>It will be seen that words as general as those used in the first section of this act were by that decision limited, and the intent of Congress with respect to the act was gathered partially at least, from its title. Now the title of this act is<p style="box-sizing: border-box;"></p>"An act to prohibit the importation and migration of foreigners and aliens under contract or agreement to perform labor in the United States, its territories, and the District of Columbia."<p style="box-sizing: border-box;"></p>Obviously the thought expressed in this reaches only to the work of the manual laborer, as distinguished from that of the professional man. No one reading such a title would suppose that Congress had in its mind any purpose of staying the coming into this country of ministers of the gospel, or, indeed, of any class whose toil is that of the brain. The common understanding of the terms "labor" and "laborers" does not include preaching and preachers, and it is to be assumed that words and phrases are used in their ordinary meaning. So whatever of light is thrown upon the statute by the language of the title indicates an exclusion from its penal provisions of all contracts for the employment of ministers, rectors, and pastors.<p style="box-sizing: border-box;"></p>Again, another guide to the meaning of a statute is found in the evil which it is designed to remedy, and for this the court properly looks at contemporaneous events, the situation as it existed, and as it was pressed upon the attention of the legislative body. <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">United States v. Union Pacific Railroad,</em> <span class="l-leftover" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><a href="https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/91/72/" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #06357a; cursor: pointer; text-decoration-line: none;">91 U.

S. 79</a></span>. The situation which called for this statute was briefly but fully stated by MR. JUSTICE BROWN when, as district judge, he decided the case of <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">United States v. Craig,</em> 28 F. 795, 798:<p style="box-sizing: border-box;"></p>"The motives and history of the act are matters of common knowledge. It had become the practice for large capitalists in this country to contract with their agents abroad for the shipment of great numbers of an ignorant and servile class of foreign laborers, under contracts by which the employer agreed, upon the one hand, to prepay their passage, while, upon the other hand, the laborers agreed to work after their arrival for a certain time at a low rate of wages. The effect of this was to break down the labor market and to reduce other laborers engaged in like occupations to the level<p style="box-sizing: border-box;"></p><a class="page-number" name="464" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #06357a; cursor: pointer;">Page 143 U. S. 464</a><p style="box-sizing: border-box;"></p>of the assisted immigrant. The evil finally became so flagrant that an appeal was made to Congress for relief by the passage of the act in question, the design of which was to raise the standard of foreign immigrants and to discountenance the migration of those who had not sufficient means in their own hands, or those of their friends, to pay their passage."<p style="box-sizing: border-box;"></p>It appears also from the petitions and in the testimony presented before the committees of Congress that it was this cheap, unskilled labor which was making the trouble, and the influx of which Congress sought to prevent. It was never suggested that we had in this country a surplus of brain toilers, and least of all that the market for the services of Christian ministers was depressed by foreign competition. Those were matters to which the attention of Congress or of the people was not directed. So far, then, as the evil which was sought to be remedied interprets the statute, it also guides to an exclusion of this contract from the penalties of the act.<p style="box-sizing: border-box;"></p>A singular circumstance throwing light upon the intent of Congress is found in this extract from the report of the Senate committee on education and labor recommending the passage of the bill:<p style="box-sizing: border-box;"></p>"The general facts and considerations which induce the committee to recommend the passage of this bill are set forth in the report of the committee of the house. The committee report the bill back without amendment, although there are certain features thereof which might well be changed or modified in the hope that the bill may not fail of passage during the present session. Especially would the committee have otherwise recommended amendments, substituting for the expression, 'labor and service,' whenever it occurs in the body of the bill, the words 'manual labor' or 'manual service,' as sufficiently broad to accomplish the purposes of the bill, and that such amendments would remove objections which a sharp and perhaps unfriendly criticism may urge to the proposed legislation. The committee, however, believing that the bill in its present form will be construed as including only those whose labor or service is manual in character, and being very desirous that the bill become a law before the adjournment, have reported the bill without<p style="box-sizing: border-box;"></p><a class="page-number" name="465" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #06357a; cursor: pointer;">Page 143 U. S. 465</a><p style="box-sizing: border-box;"></p>change."<p style="box-sizing: border-box;"></p>P. 6059, Congressional Record, 48th Cong. And referring back to the report of the committee of the house, there appears this language:<p style="box-sizing: border-box;"></p>"It seeks to restrain and prohibit the immigration or importation of laborers who would have never seen our shores but for the inducements and allurements of men whose only object is to obtain labor at the lowest possible rate, regardless of the social and material wellbeing of our own citizens, and regardless of the evil consequences which result to American laborers from such immigration. This class of immigrants care nothing about our institutions, and in many instances never even heard of them. They are men whose passage is paid by the importers. They come here under contract to labor for a certain number of years. They are ignorant of our social condition, and, that they may remain so, they are isolated and prevented from coming into contact with Americans. They are generally from the lowest social stratum, and live upon the coarsest food, and in hovels of a character before unknown to American workmen. They, as a rule, do not become citizens, and are certainly not a desirable acquisition to the body politic. The inevitable tendency of their presence among us is to degrade American labor and to reduce it to the level of the imported pauper labor."<p style="box-sizing: border-box;"></p>Page 5359, Congressional Record, 48th Congress.<p style="box-sizing: border-box;"></p>We find, therefore, that the title of the act, the evil which was intended to be remedied, the circumstances surrounding the appeal to Congress, the reports of the committee of each house, all concur in affirming that the intent of Congress was simply to stay the influx of this cheap unskilled labor.<p style="box-sizing: border-box;"></p>But, beyond all these matters, no purpose of action against religion can be imputed to any legislation, state or national, because this is a religious people. This is historically true. From the discovery of this continent to the present hour, there is a single voice making this affirmation. The commission to Christopher Columbus, prior to his sail westward, is from "Ferdinand and Isabella, by the grace of God, King and Queen of Castile," etc., and recites that "it is hoped that by God's assistance some of the continents and islands in the<p style="box-sizing: border-box;"></p><a class="page-number" name="466" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #06357a; cursor: pointer;">Page 143 U. S. 466</a><p style="box-sizing: border-box;"></p>ocean will be discovered," etc. The first colonial grant, that made to Sir Walter Raleigh in 1584, was from "Elizabeth, by the grace of God, of England, Fraunce and Ireland, Queene, defender of the faith," etc., and the grant authorizing him to enact statutes of the government of the proposed colony provided that "they be not against the true Christian faith nowe professed in the Church of England." The first charter of Virginia, granted by King James I in 1606, after reciting the application of certain parties for a charter, commenced the grant in these words:<p style="box-sizing: border-box;"></p>"We, greatly commending, and graciously accepting of, their Desires for the Furtherance of so noble a Work, which may, by the Providence of Almighty God, hereafter tend to the Glory of his Divine Majesty, in propagating of Christian Religion to such People, as yet live in Darkness and miserable Ignorance of the true Knowledge and Worship of God, and may in time bring the Infidels and Savages, living in those parts, to human Civility, and to a settled and quiet government; DO, by these our Letters-Patents, graciously accept of, and agree to, their humble and well intended Desires."<p style="box-sizing: border-box;"></p>Language of similar import may be found in the subsequent charters of that colony, from the same king, in 1609 and 1611, and the same is true of the various charters granted to the other colonies. In language more or less emphatic is the establishment of the Christian religion declared to be one of the purposes of the grant. The celebrated compact made by the pilgrims in the Mayflower, 1620, recites:<p style="box-sizing: border-box;"></p>"Having undertaken for the Glory of God, and Advancement of the Christian Faith, and the Honour of our King and Country, a Voyage to plant the first Colony in the northern Parts of Virginia; Do by these Presents, solemnly and mutually, in the Presence of God and one another, covenant and combine ourselves together into a civil Body Politick, for our better Ordering and Preservation, and Furtherance of the Ends aforesaid."<p style="box-sizing: border-box;"></p>The fundamental orders of Connecticut, under which a provisional government was instituted in 1638-39, commence with this declaration:<p style="box-sizing: border-box;"></p>"Forasmuch as it hath pleased the Allmighty God by the wise disposition of his diuyne pruidence<p style="box-sizing: border-box;"></p><a class="page-number" name="467" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #06357a; cursor: pointer;">Page 143 U.

Every Constitution of every one of the forty-four states contains language which, either directly or by clear implication, recognizes a profound reverence for religion, and an assumption that its influence in all human affairs is essential to the wellbeing of the community. This recognition may be in the preamble, such as is found in the Constitution of Illinois, 1870:<p style="box-sizing: border-box;"></p>"We, the people of the State of Illinois, grateful to Almighty God for the civil, political, and religious liberty which He hath so long permitted us to enjoy, and looking to Him for a blessing upon our endeavors to secure and transmit the same unimpaired to succeeding generations,"<p style="box-sizing: border-box;"></p>etc.<p style="box-sizing: border-box;"></p>It may be only in the familiar requisition that all officers shall take an oath closing with the declaration, "so help me God." It may be in clauses like that of the Constitution of Indiana, 1816, Art. XI, section 4: "The manner of administering an oath or affirmation shall be such as is most consistent with the conscience of the deponent, and shall be esteemed the most solemn appeal to God." Or in provisions such as are found in Articles 36 and 37 of the declaration of rights of the Constitution of Maryland, 1867:<p style="box-sizing: border-box;"></p>"That, as it is the duty of every man to worship God in such manner as he thinks most acceptable to Him, all persons are equally entitled to protection in their religious liberty, wherefore no person ought, by any law, to be molested in his person or estate on account of his religious persuasion or profession, or for his religious practice, unless, under the color of religion, he shall disturb the good order, peace, or safety of the state, or shall infringe the laws of morality, or injure others in their natural, civil, or religious rights; nor ought any person to be compelled to frequent or maintain or contribute, unless on contract, to maintain any place of worship or any ministry; nor shall any person, otherwise competent, be deemed incompetent as a witness or juror on account of his religious belief, <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">provided</em> he<p style="box-sizing: border-box;"></p><a class="page-number" name="469" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #06357a; cursor: pointer;">Page 143 U.

That no religious test ought ever to be required as a qualification for any office of profit or trust in this state, other than a declaration of belief in the existence of God; nor shall the legislature prescribe any other oath of office than the oath prescribed by this constitution."<p style="box-sizing: border-box;"></p>Or like that in Articles 2 and 3 of part 1st of the Constitution of Massachusetts, 1780:<p style="box-sizing: border-box;"></p>"It is the right as well as the duty of all men in society publicly, and at stated seasons, to worship the Supreme Being, the great Creator and Preserver of the universe. . . . As the happiness of a people and the good order and preservation of civil government essentially depend upon piety, religion, and morality, and as these cannot be generally diffused through a community but by the institution of the public worship of God and of public instructions in piety, religion, and morality, therefore, to promote their happiness, and to secure the good order and preservation of their government, the people of this commonwealth have a right to invest their legislature with power to authorize and require, and the legislature shall, from time to time, authorize and require, the several towns, parishes, precincts, and other bodies politic or religious societies to make suitable provision at their own expense, for the institution of the public worship of God and for the support and maintenance of public Protestant teachers of piety, religion, and morality, in all cases where such provision shall not be made voluntarily."<p style="box-sizing: border-box;"></p>Or, as in sections 5 and 14 of Article 7 of the Constitution of Mississippi, 1832:<p style="box-sizing: border-box;"></p>"No person who denies the being of a God, or a future state of rewards and punishments, shall hold any office in the civil department of this state. . . . Religion morality, and knowledge being necessary to good government, the preservation of liberty, and the happiness of mankind, schools, and the means of education, shall forever be encouraged in this state."<p style="box-sizing: border-box;"></p>Or by Article 22 of the Constitution of Delaware, (1776), which required all officers, besides an oath of allegiance, to make and subscribe the following declaration:<p style="box-sizing: border-box;"></p>"I, A.

There is a universal language pervading them all, having one meaning. They affirm and reaffirm that this is a religious nation. These are not individual sayings, declarations of private persons. They are organic utterances. They speak the voice of the entire people. While, because of a general recognition of this truth, the question has seldom been presented to the courts, yet we find that in <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">Updegraph v. Commonwealth,</em> 11 S. & R. 394, 400, it was decided that<p style="box-sizing: border-box;"></p>"Christianity, general Christianity, is, and always has been, a part of the common law of Pennsylvania; . . . not Christianity with an established church and tithes and spiritual courts, but Christianity with liberty of conscience to all men."<p style="box-sizing: border-box;"></p>And in <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">People v. Ruggles,</em> 8 Johns. 290, 294-295, Chancellor Kent, the great commentator on American law, speaking as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of New York, said:<p style="box-sizing: border-box;"></p>"The people of this state, in common with the people of this country, profess the general doctrines of Christianity as the rule of their faith and practice, and to scandalize the author of these doctrines is not only, in a religious point of view, extremely impious, but, even in respect to the obligations due to society, is a gross violation of decency and good order. . . .

S. 471</a><p style="box-sizing: border-box;"></p>subject, is granted and secured; but to revile, with malicious and blasphemous contempt, the religion professed by almost the whole community is an abuse of that right. Nor are we bound by any expressions in the Constitution, as some have strangely supposed, either not to punish at all, or to punish indiscriminately the like attacks upon the religion of Mahomet or of the Grand Lama, and for this plain reason, that the case assumes that we are a Christian people, and the morality of the country is deeply engrafted upon Christianity, and not upon the doctrines or worship of those impostors."<p style="box-sizing: border-box;"></p>And in the famous case of <em style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span class="l-italics" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><a href="https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/43/127/" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #06357a; cursor: pointer; text-decoration-line: none;">Vidal v.

Among other matters, note the following: the form of oath universally prevailing, concluding with an appeal to the Almighty; the custom of opening sessions of all deliberative bodies and most conventions with prayer; the prefatory words of all wills, "In the name of God, amen;" the laws respecting the observance of the Sabbath, with the general cessation of all secular business, and the closing of courts, legislatures, and other similar public assemblies on that day; the churches and church organizations which abound in every city, town, and hamlet; the multitude of charitable organizations existing every where under Christian auspices; the gigantic missionary associations, with general support, and aiming to establish Christian missions in every quarter of the globe. These, and many other matters which might be noticed, add a volume of unofficial declarations to the mass of organic utterances that this is a Christian nation. In the face of all these, shall it be believed that a Congress of the United States intended to make it a misdemeanor for a church of this country to contract for the services of a Christian minister residing in another nation?<p style="box-sizing: border-box;"></p><a class="page-number" name="472" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #06357a; cursor: pointer;">Page 143 U. S. 472</a><p style="box-sizing: border-box;"></p>Suppose, in the Congress that passed this act, some member had offered a bill which in terms declared that if any Roman Catholic church in this country should contract with Cardinal Manning to come to this country and enter into its service as pastor and priest, or any Episcopal church should enter into a like contract with Canon Farrar, or any Baptist church should make similar arrangements with Rev. Mr. Spurgeon, or any Jewish synagogue with some eminent rabbi, such contract should be adjudged unlawful and void, and the church making it be subject to prosecution and punishment. Can it be believed that it would have received a minute of approving thought or a single vote? Yet it is contended that such was, in effect, the meaning of this statute. The construction invoked cannot be accepted as correct. It is a case where there was presented a definite evil, in view of which the legislature used general terms with the purpose of reaching all phases of that evil, and thereafter, unexpectedly, it is developed that the general language thus employed is broad enough to reach cases and acts which the whole history and life of the country affirm could not have been intentionally legislated against. It is the duty of the courts under those circumstances to say that, however broad the language of the statute may be, the act, although within the letter, is not within the intention of the legislature, and therefore cannot be within the statute.<p style="box-sizing: border-box;"></p><em style="box-sizing: border-box;">The judgment will be reversed, and the case remanded for further proceedings in accordance with this opinion.</em><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1em;"></p></span></div></div></div></div><hr class="divider-v2" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-bottom: 0px solid rgb(219, 219, 219); border-color: rgb(219, 219, 219); border-image: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-left: 0px solid rgb(219, 219, 219); border-right-width: 0px; border-right: 0px solid rgb(219, 219, 219); border-style: solid; border-top-color: rgb(219, 219, 219); border-top-style: solid; box-sizing: content-box; height: 0px; margin: 40px 0px; overflow: visible; width: 364px;" /><div class="block search-case" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; scroll-margin-top: 120px; zoom: 1;"><span class="heading-4 has-no-margin" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1a1a1a; display: block; font-weight: 600; line-height: 1.2; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-size: large;">Search This Case</span></span><div class="flex-columns -cols-gap-50 -cols-in-landscape-tablet width-100-v2 has-margin-top-20" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 40px; margin-top: 1em; overflow: hidden; width: 364px;"><div class="flex-col-wrapper" style="box-sizing: border-box; display: flex; flex-wrap: wrap; margin: -10px -25px;"><div class="flex-col width-20 reset-width-below-landscape-tablet" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 10px 25px; width: 364px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: large; font-weight: 700;"><a href="http://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=Church+of+the+Holy+Trinity+v.+United+States&as_sdt=2006" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #06357a; cursor: pointer; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank" title="Law - Google Scholar">Google Scholar</a></span></div><div class="flex-col width-20 reset-width-below-landscape-tablet" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 10px 25px; width: 364px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: large; font-weight: 700;"><a href="https://www.google.com/search?tbo=p&tbm=bks&q=Church+of+the+Holy+Trinity+v.+United+States" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #06357a; cursor: pointer; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank" title="Law - Google Books">Google Books</a></span></div><div class="flex-col width-20 reset-width-below-landscape-tablet" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 10px 25px; width: 364px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: large; font-weight: 700;"><a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=Church+of+the+Holy+Trinity+v.+United+States" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #06357a; cursor: pointer; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank" title="Law - Google Web">Google Web</a></span></div><div class="flex-col width-20 reset-width-below-landscape-tablet" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 10px 25px; width: 364px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: large; font-weight: 700;"><a href="https://news.google.com/news/search?q=Church+of+the+Holy+Trinity+v.+United+States" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #06357a; cursor: pointer; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank" title="Law - Google News">Google News</a></span></div></div></div></div><hr class="divider-v2" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-bottom: 0px solid rgb(219, 219, 219); border-color: rgb(219, 219, 219); border-image: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-left: 0px solid rgb(219, 219, 219); border-right-width: 0px; border-right: 0px solid rgb(219, 219, 219); border-style: solid; border-top-color: rgb(219, 219, 219); border-top-style: solid; box-sizing: content-box; height: 0px; margin: 40px 0px; overflow: visible; width: 364px;" /></div></div></div><div class="sidebar primary-sidebar" style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 30px 50px; position: relative; z-index: 1;"><div class="bg-white -menu" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box;"><div class="-show-desktop" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><p class="heading-3 expand-v2 cursor-pointer -display-block" data-collapsed_class="hidden" data-expanded_class="-expanded" data-section="navigation-list" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1a1a1a; cursor: pointer; font-weight: 600; line-height: 1.2; margin: 1em 0px 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-size: large;">Church of the Holy Trinity v.

Here, Charles Kesler defines that character against both the multiculturalists of a generation ago — the predecessors of the current group quota regime — and the purely “culturalist” conservatives who understand American patriotism merely as a defense of tradition, or a preference for the familiar. The heritage is vital, Kesler argues, but it cannot possibly be understood without reference to the eternal principles that have formed and sustained it since the moment of the Founding. Their relationship is symbiotic. A reclamation of both — the American culture and the American creed; the distinct history and the truths “applicable to all men at all times” (in Lincoln’s words) — will be necessary for the American regime to triumph over the woke regime.</span></i></div><div><i><span style="font-size: x-large;">This essay is adapted from a lecture presented at the Heritage Foundation in Washington, D.C., as part of the Lehrman Lectures on Restoring America’s National Identity.

It was the kind of flagrant mistranslation that, had it been committed by a Republican, say George W. Bush or Dan Quayle, would have been a gaffe heard round the world. But the media didn’t play up the slip, perhaps because they had seen Gore’s Harvard grades and figured he’d suffered enough, perhaps because they admired the remark’s impudence. Though literally a mistake, politically the comment expressed and honored the multicultural imperative, then so prominent in the minds of American liberals: “from one,” or to exaggerate slightly, “instead of one culture, many.” As such it was a rather candid example of the literary method known as deconstruction: torture a text until it confesses the exact opposite of what it says in plain English or, in this case, Latin.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;">After 9/11, we haven’t heard much from multiculturalism. In wartime, politics tends to assert its sway over culture. In its most elementary sense, politics implies friends and enemies, us and them. The attackers on 9/11 were not interested in our internal diversity. They didn’t murder the innocents in the Twin Towers or the Pentagon or on board the airplanes because they were black, white, Asian-American, or Mexican-American, but because they were American. (Although I bet that for every Jew they expected to kill, the terrorists felt an extra thrill of murderous anticipation.) </span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;">In our horror and anguish at those enormities and then in our resolution to avenge them, the American people closed ranks. National pride swelled and national identity—perhaps the simplest marker is the display of the flag—reasserted itself. After 9/11 everyone, presumably even Mr. Gore, understood that e pluribus unum means: out of many, one. Yet the patriotism of indignation and fear can only go so far. When the threat recedes, when the malefactor has been punished, the sentiment cools. Unless we know what about our national identity ought to command admiration and love, we are left at our enemies’ mercy. We pay them the supreme and undeserved compliment of letting them define us, even if indirectly. Unsure of our national identity, we are left uncertain of our national interests, too; now even the war brought on by 9/11 seems strangely indefinite. And so Samuel P. Huntington is correct in his recent book to ask Who Are We? and to investigate what he calls in the subtitle The Challenges to America’s National Identity. What shape will our national identity be in when the present war is over—or when it fades from consciousness, as arguably it has already begun to do?</span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;">Creed versus Culture</span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;">In Huntington’s view, America is undergoing an identity crisis, in which the long-term trend points squarely towards national disintegration. A University Professor at Harvard (the school’s highest academic honor), he has written a dozen or so books including several that are rightly regarded as classics of modern social science. He is a scholar of political culture, especially of the interplay between ideas and institutions; but in this book he calls himself not only a scholar but a patriot (without any ironic quotation marks). That alone marks him as an extraordinary figure in today’s academy.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;">Though not inevitable, the disorder that he discerns is fueled by at least three developments in the culture. The first is multiculturalism, which saps and undermines serious efforts at civic education. The second is “transnationalism,” which features self-proclaimed citizens of the world—leftist intellectuals like Martha Nussbaum and Amy Guttman, as well as the Davos set of multinational executives, NGOs, and global bureaucrats—who affect a point of view that is above this nation or any nation. Third is what Huntington terms the “Hispanization of America,” due to the dominance among recent immigrants of a single non-English language which threatens to turn America, in his words, into “a bilingual, bicultural society,” not unlike Canada. This threat is worsened by the nearness of the lands from which these Spanish-speaking immigrants come, which reinforces their original nationality.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;">Standing athwart these trends are the historic sources of American national identity, which Huntington describes as race, ethnicity, ideology, and culture. Race and ethnicity have, of course, largely been discarded in the past half century, a development he welcomes. By ideology he means the principles of the Declaration of Independence, namely, individual rights and government by consent, which he calls the American “creed” (a term popularized by Gunnar Myrdal). These principles are universal in the sense that they are meant to be, in Abraham Lincoln’s words, “applicable to all men at all times.” Culture is harder to define, but Huntington emphasizes language and religion, along with (a distant third) some inherited English notions of liberty. Who Are We? is at bottom a defense of this culture, which he calls Anglo-Protestantism, as the dominant strain of national identity. Although he never eschews the creed, he regards it fundamentally as the offshoot of a particular cultural moment: “The Creed…was the product of the distinct Anglo-Protestant culture of the founding settlers of America in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.”</span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;">Twenty-some years ago, he took virtually the opposite position, as James Ceaser noted in a perceptive review in The Weekly Standard. In American Politics: The Promise of Disharmony (1981), Huntington declared, “The political ideas of the American creed have been the basis of national identity.” But the result, even according to his earlier analysis, was a very unstable identity. The inevitable gap between ideals and institutions doomed the country to anguished cycles of moral overheating (“creedal passion periods”) and cooling. He wrote the earlier book as a kind of reflection on the politics of the 1960s and 1970s, noting how the excessive moralism of those times had given way to hypocrisy, complacency, and finally cynicism. In a way, then, the two books really are united in their concern about creedal over-reliance or disharmony.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;">To bring coherence and stability to American national identity apparently requires a creed with two feet planted squarely on the ground of Anglo-Protestant culture. The creed alone is too weak to hold society together. As he argues in the new book, “America with only the creed as a basis for unity would soon evolve into a loose confederation of ethnic, racial, cultural and political groups.” It is not excessive individualism he worries about; he fears rather that individuals, steering by the creed alone, would soon be attracted to balkanizing group-identities. Therefore, the creed must be subsumed under the culture, if creed and country both are to survive; indeed, “if they are to be worthy of survival, because much of what is most admirable about America” is in its culture, at its best.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;">Anglo-Protestantism</span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;">Huntington’s argument provides a convenient starting point for thinking about the problem of American national identity, which touches immigration, bilingual education, religion in the public square, civic education, foreign policy, and many other issues. While agreeing with much of what he says about the culture’s importance, I want to speak up for the creed and for a third point of view, distinct from and encompassing both.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;">how, and why does that crucial term “American” creep onto the stage and into our souls? He allows that “the sources of the creed include the Enlightenment ideas that became popular among some American elites in the mid-eighteenth century.” But he suggests that these ideas did not change the prevailing culture so much as the culture changed them. In general, Huntington tries to reduce reason to an epiphenomenon of culture, whether of the Anglo-Protestant or Enlightenment variety. He doesn’t see—or at any rate, he doesn’t admit the implications of seeing—that reason has, or can have, an integrity of its own, independent of culture. But Euclid, Shakespeare, or Bach, for example, though each had a cultural setting, was not simply produced by his culture, and the meaning of his works is certainly not dependent on it or limited to it. It is the same with the most thoughtful American Founders and with human equality, liberty, and the other great ideas of the American creed.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;">The Cultural Approach</span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;">Huntington’s analysis is closer than he might like to admit to the form of traditionalist conservatism that emerged in Europe in opposition to the French Revolution. These conservatives, often inspired by Edmund Burke but going far beyond him, condemned reason or “rationalism” on the grounds that its universal principles destroyed the conditions of political health in particular societies. They held that political health consisted essentially in tending to a society’s own traditions and idiosyncrasies, to its peculiar genius or culture. As opposed to the French Revolution’s attempt to make or construct new governments as part of a worldwide civilization based on the rights of man, these conservatives argued that government must be a native growth, must emerge from the spontaneous evolution of the nation itself. Government was a part of the Volksgeist, “the spirit of the people.” Politics, including morality, was in the decisive respect an outgrowth of culture.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;">slavery, the truer expression of Americanism? Both are parts of our tradition. One needs some “creed,” it turns out, to make sense of culture. I mean creed, not merely in the sense of things believed (sidestepping whether they are true or not), but in the sense of moral principles or genuine moral-political knowledge. If that were impossible, if every point of view were merely relative to a culture, then you’d be caught in an infinite regress. No genuine knowledge, independent of cultural conditioning, would be possible—except, of course, for the very claim that there is no knowledge apart from the cultural, which claim has to be true across all cultures and times. But then genuine knowledge would be possible, after all, and culturalism would have refuted itself.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;">Hard Sell</span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;">One of the oddities of Huntington’s argument is that the recourse to Anglo-Protestantism makes it, from the academic point of view, less objectionable, and from the political viewpoint, less persuasive. As a scholar, he figures that he cannot endorse the American creed or its principles of enlightened patriotism as true and good, because that would be committing a value judgment. So he embeds them in a culture and attempts to prove (and does prove, so far as social science allows) the culture’s usefulness for liberty, prosperity, and national unity, should you happen to value any of those. The Anglo-Protestantism that he celebrates, please note, is not exactly English Protestantism (he wants to avoid the national church), but dissenting Protestantism, and not all of dissenting Protestantism but those parts, and they were substantial, that embraced religious liberty. In short, those parts most receptive to and shaped by the creed.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;">As a political matter, Anglo-Protestantism is a hard sell, particularly to Catholics, Jews, Mexican-Americans, and many others who don’t exactly see themselves in that picture. Huntington affirms, repeatedly, that his is “an argument for the importance of Anglo-Protestant culture, not for the importance of Anglo-Protestant people.” That is a very creedal, one might even say a very American, way of putting his case for culture, turning it into a set of principles and habits that can be adopted by willing immigrants of whatever nation or race. This downplays much of what is usually meant by culture, however, and it is not clear what he gains by it. If that is all there is to it, why not emphasize the creed or, more precisely, approach the culture through the creed?</span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;">The answer, I think, is that Huntington regards the creed by itself as too indifferent to the English language and God. But there is no connection between adherence to the principles of the Declaration and a lukewarm embrace of English for all Americans. In fact, a country based on common principles would logically want a common language in which to express them. The multiculturalists, tellingly, attack English and the Declaration at the same time. As for God, there is no reason to accept the ACLU’s godless version of the creed as the correct one. The Declaration mentions Him four times, for example, and from the Declaration to the Gettysburg Address to the Pledge of Allegiance (a creedal document if there ever was one), the creed has affirmed God’s support for the rational political principles of this nation.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;">Regime Change</span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;">Yet it is precisely these principles that Huntington downplays, along with their distinctive viewpoint. This viewpoint, which goes beyond culture, is the political viewpoint. It is nobly represented by our own founders and its most impressive theoretical articulation is in Aristotle’s Politics. For Aristotle, the highest theme of politics and of political science is founding. Founding means to give a country the law, institutions, offices, and precepts that chiefly make the country what it is, that distinguish it as a republic, aristocracy, monarchy, or so on. This authoritative arrangement of offices and institutions is what Aristotle calls “the regime,” which establishes who rules the country and for what purposes. We hear much about “regime change” today but perhaps don’t reflect enough about what the term implies. The regime is the fundamental fact of political life according to Aristotle. And because the character of the rulers shapes the character of the whole people, the regime largely imparts to the country its very way of life. In its most sweeping sense, regime change thus augurs a fundamental rewiring not only of governmental but of social, economic, and even religious authority in a country. In liberal democracies, to be sure, politics has renounced much of its authority over religion, society, and the economy. But even this renunciation is a political act, a regime decision.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;">Founding is regime change par excellence, the clearest manifestation of politics’ ability to shape or rule culture. But even Aristotle admits that the regime only “chiefly” determines the character of a country, comparing it to a sculptor’s ability to form a statue out of a block of marble. Much depends as well on the marble, its size, condition, provenance, and so forth. Although the sculptor wishes to impose a form (say, a bust of George Washington) on the marble, he is limited by the matter he has to work with and may have to adapt his plans accordingly. By the limitations or potentialities of the matter Aristotle implies much of what we mean by culture. That is, every founder must start from something—a site, a set of natural resources, a population that already possesses certain customs, beliefs, family structure, economic skills, and maybe laws. Aristotle chooses to regard this “matter” or what we would call culture as the legacy, at least mostly, of past politics, of previous regimes and laws and customs. By in effect subordinating culture to politics, he emphasizes the capacity of men to shape their own destiny or to govern themselves by choosing (again) in politics. He emphasizes, in other words, that men are free, that they are not enslaved to the past or to their own culture. But he does not confuse this with an unqualified or limitless liberty to make ourselves into anything we want to be. We are just free enough to be able to take responsibility for the things in life we cannot choose—the geographical, economic, cultural, and other factors that condition our freedom but don’t abolish it.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;">Now it is from this viewpoint, the statesman’s viewpoint, that we can see how creed and culture may be combined to shape a national identity and a common good. In fact, this can be illustrated from the American Founding itself. In the 1760s and early 1770s American citizens and statesmen tried out different arguments in criticism of the mother country’s policies on taxation and land rights. Essentially, they appealed to one part of their political tradition to criticize another, invoking a version of the “ancient constitution” (rendered consistent with Lockean natural rights) to criticize the new one of parliamentary supremacy, in effect appealing not only to Lord Coke against Locke, but to Locke against Locke. In the Declaration of Independence, the Americans appealed both to natural law and rights on the one hand, and to British constitutionalism on the other, but to the latter only insofar as it did not contradict the former. Thus the American creed emerged from within, but also against, the predominant culture. The Revolution justified itself ultimately by an appeal to human nature, not to culture, and in the name of human nature and the American people, the Revolutionaries set out to form an American Union with its own culture.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;">Immigration and Education</span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;">They understood, that is, that the American republic needed a culture to help uphold its creed. The formal political theory of the creed was a version of social contract theory, amended to include a central role for Founding Fathers. In John Locke’s Second Treatise, the classic statement of the contract theory, there is little role for Founding Fathers, really, inasmuch as they might represent a confusion of political power and paternal power, two things that Locke is at great pains to separate. He wants to make clear that political power, which arises from consent, has nothing to do with the power of fathers over their children. And so, against the arguments of absolutist patriarchal monarchy, he attempted clearly to distinguish paternal power from contractual or political power. But in the American case we have combined these, to an extent, almost from the beginning. The fathers of the republic are our demi-gods, as Thomas Jefferson, of all people, called them. They are our heroes, who establish the sacred space of American politics, and citizens (and those who would be) are expected to share a general reverence for them and their constitutional handiwork.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;">In fact, the American creed, together with its attendant culture, illuminates at least two issues highly relevant to national identity, namely, immigration and education. On immigration, the founders taught that civil society is based on a contract, a contract presupposing the unanimous consent of the individuals who come together to make a people. When newcomers appear, they may join that society if they and the society concur. In other words, from the nature of the people as arising from a voluntary contract, consent remains a two-way street: an immigrant must consent to come, and the society must consent to receive him. Otherwise, there is a violation of the voluntary basis of civil society. The universal rights of human nature translate via the social compact into a particular society, an “us” distinct from “them,” distinct even from any other civil society constituted by a social contract.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;">Any individual has, in Jefferson’s words, the right to emigrate from a society in which chance, not choice, has placed him. But no society has a standing natural duty to receive him or to take him in. Thus it is no violation of human rights to pick and choose immigrants based on what a particular civil society needs. In America’s case, the founders disagreed among themselves about whether, say, farmers or manufacturers should be favored as immigrants, but they agreed, as Thomas G. West and Edward J. Erler have shown, that the country needed newcomers who knew English, had a strong work ethic, and possessed republican sentiments and habits.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;">For its first century or so, the United States had naturalization laws but no immigration laws, so that, technically speaking, we had open borders. Effectively, however, the frontiers were not so open: most immigrants had to cross several thousand miles of perilous ocean to reach us. Nonetheless, American statesmen wanted to influence as much as they could who was coming and why. Benjamin Franklin, for instance, wrote a famous essay in 1784 called “Information to Those Who Would Remove to America,” in which he cautioned his European readers that America was the “Land of Labor”: if they were planning to emigrate they had better be prepared to work hard. America was not the kind of country, he wrote, where “the Fowls fly about ready roasted, crying, Come eat me!”</span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;">As for education, from the creedal or contractual point of view, each generation of citizens’ children might be considered a new society. But Jefferson’s suggestion that therefore all contracts, laws, and constitutions should expire every generation (19 years, he calculated) was never acted on by him, much less by any other founder. Instead of continual interruptions (or perhaps a finale) to national identity, succeeding generations, so the founders concluded, were their “posterity,” for whom the blessings of liberty had to be secured and transmitted. Perpetuating the republic thus entailed a duty to educate the rising generation in the proper creed and culture.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;">If certain qualities of mind and heart were required of American citizens, as everyone agreed, then politics had to help shape, directly and indirectly, a favoring culture. Most of the direct character formation, of course, took place at the level of families, churches, and state and local governments, including private and (in time) public schools. In the decades that followed the founding, the relation between the culture and creed fluctuated in accordance with shifting views about the requirements of American republicanism. Unable to forget the terrors of the French Revolution, Federalists and Whigs tried to stimulate root growth by emphasizing the creed’s connection to Pilgrim self-discipline and British legal culture. This was, perhaps, the closest that America ever came to an actual politics of Burkeanism. Although the American Whigs never abandoned the creed’s natural-rights morality, they adorned it with the imposing drapery of reverence for cultural tradition and the rule of law. In many respects, in fact, Huntington’s project is a recrudescence of Whiggism.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;">By contrast, Jeffersonian Republicans, soon turned Jacksonian Democrats, preferred to dignify the creed by enmeshing it in a historical and progressive account of culture. They, too, were aware of the problem of Bonapartism, which had seized and destroyed French republicanism in its infancy; and in Andrew Jackson, of course, they had a kind of Bonaparte figure in American politics whom they were happy to exploit. But in their own populist manner they responded to the inherent dangers of Bonapartism by embracing a kind of theory of progress, influenced by Hegel though vastly more democratic than his, which recognized the People as the vehicle of the world-spirit and as the voice of God on earth. (You can find this in the essays and books of George Bancroft, the Jacksonian-era historian and advisor to Democratic presidents, as well as in popular editorials in the North American Review and elsewhere.) The people were always primary, in other words. Jackson and even the founders were their servants; every great man the representative of a great people. Here too the creed tended to merge into culture, though in this case into forward-looking popular culture.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;">In his early life, Abraham Lincoln was a Whig, memorably and subtly warning against the spirit of Caesarism and encouraging reverence for the law as our political religion. But Lincoln’s greatness depended upon transcending Whiggism for the sake of a new republicanism, a strategy already visible in his singular handling of the stock Whig themes as a young man. In fact, his new party called itself the Republican Party as a kind of boast that the new republicanism intended to revive the old. Their point was that the former Democratic Republicans, now mere Democrats, had abandoned the republic, which Lincoln and his party vowed to save. Rejecting Whiggish traditionalism as well as Democratic populism and progressivism, Lincoln rehabilitated the American creed, returning to the Declaration and its truths to set the face of American law against secession and slavery, to purge slavery from the national identity, and to reassert republican mores in American life and culture. This last goal entailed the American people’s long struggle against Jim Crow and segregated schools, as well as our contemporary struggle against group rights and racial and sexual entitlements.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;">Lincoln and his party stood for a reshaping of American culture around the American creed—”a new birth of freedom.” Because the creed itself dictated a limited government, this rebirth was not an illiberal, top-down politicization of culture of the sort that liberal courts in recent decades have attempted. Disciplined by the ideas of natural rights and the consent of the governed, this revitalization was a persuasive effort that took generations, and included legislative victories like the Civil War Amendments and the subsequent civil rights acts. Government sometimes had to take energetic action to secure rights, to be sure, e.g., to suppress the culture of lynching. Nor should we forget that peaceful reforms presupposed wartime victory. As with the Revolution, it took war to decide what kind of national identity America would possess—if any. But war is meaningless without the statecraft that turns it so far as possible to noble ends, and that prepares the way for the return of truly civil government and civil society.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;">We Hold These Truths</span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;">Modern liberalism, beginning in the Progressive era, has done its best to strip natural rights and the Constitution out of the American creed. By emptying it of its proper moral content, thinkers and politicians like Woodrow Wilson prepared the creed to be filled by subsequent generations, who could pour their contemporary values into it and thus keep it in tune with the times. The “living constitution,” as the new view of things came to be called, transformed the creed, once based on timeless or universal principles, into an evolving doctrine; turned it, in effect, into culture, which could be adjusted and reinterpreted in accordance with history’s imperatives. Alternatively, one could say that 20th-century liberals turned their open-ended form of culturalism into a new American creed, the multicultural creed, which they have few scruples now about imposing on republican America, diversity be damned.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;">To his credit, Huntington abhors this development. Unfortunately, his Anglo-Protestant culturalism, like any merely cultural conservatism, is no match for its liberal opponents. He persists in thinking of liberals as devotees of the old American creed who push its universal principles too far, who rely on reason to the exclusion of a strong national culture. When they abjured individualism and natural rights decades ago, however, liberals broke with that creed, and did so proudly. When they abandoned nature as the ground of right, liberals broke as well with reason, understood as a natural capacity for seeking truth, in favor of reason as a servant of culture, history, fate, power, and finally nothingness. In short, Huntington fails to grasp that latter-day liberals attack American culture because they reject the American creed, around which that culture has formed and developed from the very beginning.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;">In thinking through the crisis of American national identity, we should keep in mind the opening words of the second paragraph of the Declaration of Independence: “We hold these truths….” Usually, and correctly, we emphasize the truths that are to be held, but we must not forget the “We” who holds them. The American creed is the keystone of American national identity; but it requires a culture to sustain it.

It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”<br />–John Adams</span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br />In the course of human events it sometimes becomes necessary to admonish the lawless, encourage the fainthearted,<br />and strengthen the weak. We have reached just such a time in our history. The affairs of our nation are now steeped in avaricious corruption and our once stalwart institutions, including the Dept of Defense, are failing to fulfill the moral obligations upon which they were founded. Standing upon our natural and constitutional rights, we hereby apprise the American people that we have exhausted all internal efforts to rectify recent criminal activity within the Armed Forces.<br />In the Declaration of Independence our founding fathers sought separation. We seek no separation, but through this letter and the efforts we pledge herein, we pursue restoration through accountability. We intend to rebuild trust and<br />restore the rule of law, particularly within the Armed Forces. Ultimately, we strive to once again become a moral people, restoring our nation, and making it again worthy of the great gift of liberty won by the colonial-era American people.<br />While implementing the COVID-19 vaccine mandate, military leaders broke the law, trampled constitutional rights,<br />denied informed consent, permitted unwilling medical experimentation, and suppressed the free exercise of religion.<br />Service members and families were significantly harmed by these actions. Their suffering continues to be felt financially,<br />emotionally, and physically. Some service members became part of our ever-growing veteran homeless population, some<br />developed debilitating vaccine injuries, and some even lost their lives. In an apparent attempt to avoid accountability,<br />military leaders are continuing to ignore our communications regarding these injuries and the laws that were broken.<br />For GEN Milley, ADM Grady, GEN McConville, ADM Gilday, ADM Lescher, Gen Brown, Gen Berger, Gen Smith,<br />VADM Kilby, VADM Nowell, VADM Fuller, LTG Martin, Lt Gen Davis, MG Edmonson, GEN Williams, ADM Fagan,<br />VADM Buck, Lt Gen Clark, MG Francis, LTG Dingle, Lt Gen Miller, RADM Gillingham, and numerous others;<br />These individuals enabled lawlessness and the unwilling experimentation on service members. The moral and<br />physical injuries they helped inflict are significant. They betrayed the trust of service members and the American people.<br />Their actions caused irreparable harm to the Armed Forces and the institutions for which we have fought and bled.<br />These leaders refused to resign or take any other action to hold themselves accountable, nor have they attempted to<br />repair the harm their policies and actions have caused. Since there has yet to be any accountability, the undersigned give<br />our word to do everything morally permissible and legally possible to hold our own leadership accountable. We intend to<br />rebuild trust by demonstrating that leaders cannot cast aside constitutional rights or the law for political expediency.<br />The flag and general officers are far from the only ones complicit in recent illegal activities, as a significant number of<br />SES leaders and political appointees contributed. Evidence indicates that other executive agencies are engaging in illegal<br />activity. However, as service members and veterans, we feel particularly responsible for the DoD and, in accordance with<br />our oaths, we will make every effort to demonstrate by example, how an institution can put its own house in order.<br />We the undersigned, on behalf of hundreds of thousands of service members and the American people, while<br />appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for guidance and purity of intention, mutually pledge to each other that we<br />will do everything in our power, through lawful word and action, to hold accountable military leaders who failed to<br />follow the law when their leadership and moral courage was most desperately needed.<br />In the coming years, thousands within our network will run for Congress and seek appointments to executive branch<br />offices, while those of us still serving on active duty will continue to put fulfilling our oaths ahead of striving for rank or<br />position. For those who achieve the lawful authority to do so, we pledge to recall from retirement the military leaders<br />who broke the law and will convene courts-martial for the crimes they committed. For those of us who attain legislative<br />offices, we pledge to introduce legislation to remove all retirement income for the military leaders who were criminally<br />complicit, and we will ensure none serve in or retire from the Senior Executive Service.<br />This endeavor will be a continuous process with a long-term time horizon, but fulfilling our oaths to defend the<br />Constitution requires just such persistent vigilance. Likewise, we are obligated, and so commit, to train those who come<br />after us to fulfill their duty in achieving this accountability and safeguarding against such leadership failures hereafter.<br />Our nation was once great because it was good. It was built on moral principles founded in natural law and yet, the<br />recent acceleration of moral relativism has us headed towards a precipitous implosion. While all good things come to an<br />end, we refuse to allow our nation to go quietly into the depths of decadence and decay. We promise to exhaust all<br />moral, ethical, and legal means to restore the rule of law and will begin by attempting to hold senior military leaders<br />accountable. The Constitution is the supreme law of our land. We will fight to enforce that law and put an end to the two-<br />tiered justice system. May future generations see our efforts and, God willing, may they also be recipients of the great gift<br />of liberty that we have had the honor of safeguarding.<br /><br /><br />2<br />_______________<br />Peter Chambers<br />LTC, USA (Ret)<br />_______________<br />Mark Bashaw<br />Fmr. 1LT USA<br />Fmr.

I hung it</span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;">on my back porch and filled it</span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;">with seed. What a beauty of</span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;">a bird feeder it was, as I filled it</span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;">lovingly with seed.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;">Within a week we had hundreds of birds</span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;">taking advantage of the</span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;">continuous flow of free and</span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;">easily accessible food.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;">But then the birds started</span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;">building nests in the boards</span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;">of the patio, above the table,</span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;">and next to the barbecue.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;">Then came the shit. It was</span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;">everywhere: on the patio tile,</span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;">the chairs, the table ...</span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;">everywhere!</span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;">Then some of the birds</span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;">turned mean. They would</span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;">dive bomb me and try to</span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;">peck me even though I had</span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;">fed them out of my own</span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;">pocket.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;">And others birds were</span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;">boisterous and loud. They</span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;">sat on the feeder and</span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;">squawked and screamed at</span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;">all hours of the day and night</span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;">and demanded that I fill it</span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;">when it got low on food.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;">After a while, I couldn’t even</span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;">sit on my own back porch</span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;">anymore. So I took down the</span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;">bird feeder and in three days</span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;">the birds were gone. I cleaned</span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;">up their mess and took down</span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;">the many nests they had built</span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;">all over the patio.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;">Soon, the back yard was like</span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;">it used to be ..... quiet, serene....</span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;">and no one demanding their</span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;">rights to a free meal.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;">Now let’s see......</span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;">Our government gives out</span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;">free food, subsidized housing,</span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;">free medical care and free</span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;">education, and allows anyone</span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;">born here to be an automatic</span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;">citizen.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;">Then the illegals came by the</span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;">tens of thousands.
