The article discusses the roots of the value system in the U.S. The value system of the U.S. rest on the firm spiritual foundation on which the nation was established. According to English author G. K. Chesterton, the U.S. is the only nation in the world that is founded on a creed, one set forth with theological lucidity in the Declaration of Independence. As understood by the nation's greatest moral leaders such as Abraham Lincoln and Martin Luther King Jr., the U.S. is a union of faith and freedom, in which faith elevates freedom and freedom tempers faith.
