fairness in it and equality, then the constitution they declared independence, they fought the greatest naval power in the world, they won, they wrote the constitution, the bill of rights, making us the freest, greatest nation in the world, founded on a principle that all people are created equal. that had never been done in the history of the world. and when they did that they, as i've told you before because i love it so much, they also created the great seal of the united states. and that great seal of the united states has on it know us have order seclorum. a new order for the centuries, for the ages, forever. so competent were our founders in their idea about generational responsibility, one to the next, that they were confident that our country, that what they were putting forth would exist for the ages. for the ages. that was the challenge they gave us. that is the responsibility that we have. and for a couple of hundred years or more that has always been the case. every generation has always believed that it would make the future better for the next. for their children and for their t
