The Genuine Source

In 1832 in his History of the United States, Noah Webster wrote, “The brief exposition of the Constitution of the United States, will unfold to young persons the principles of republican government; and it is the sincere desire of the writer that our citizens should early understand that the genuine source of correct republican principles is the Bible, particularly the New Testament or the Christian religion. The religion which has introduced civil liberty is the religion of Christ and His apostles, which enjoins humility, piety, and benevolence. This is genuine Christianity, and to this we owe our free Constitutions of Government.”
