We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
–Preamble to the United States Constitution
She highlights how our founders explicitly did not base the government on morality because individuals’ sense of morality varies. This cannot be used for a system of laws that works for every citizen.
Then she turns to fascism and how it rises and why our founders set up a structure that empowers the people through elected representatives and seating power with the people – not with any particular person or party.
Facts are stubborn things; and whatever, and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passion, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence. ~ John Adams.
