America's founders certainly epitomized this piece's heading! They were well versed in European history, its numerous faults and injustices that the people had to bear. They were determined to establish a God fearing nation governed by the people and for the people and they did. Our constitution became an extraordinary document without parallel in the world before or since its creation. The nation grew and perceived faults were corrected through constitutional improvement and remarkable freedom produced remarkable growth and industry. Our nation became a world leader and a noble force to be reckoned with, culminating in most probably our finest hour, the defeat of tyranny sought by the axis powers of WWII.
