E verybod y is inclined to consider that his own opinions and prejudice« about customs and institutions, principles and prac tices. represent the “ Am erican W a y .’ ’ The term is used to ju s ti f y the most contradictory ideas. N evertheless there are some principles and practices that arc d istin ctively Am erican and that arc believed in by most A m erican s; especially a fundam ent al conception of freedom which is a part o f our heritage. W e have built up our civilization here, and draw n our so cial pattern, on a basis o f iudividuai freedom. It includes free dom o f worship, o f speech and press and assembly. o f residence and m ovement; liberty to pursue an occupation o f o n e ’s own choice, to acquire and own property, and to enter into volun tary association with others in enterprise; and the right to p artici pate in government through representatives whose arb itrary power is restricted by basic and statu to ry law and who are periodically accountable to the people. These rights do not con stitute the whole range of Am erican freedom, but are am ong the most fundam ental. It is true that these are not regarded as absolute rights. W e impose lim its by custom and by public authority. B ut w e try to adhere to the pattern and we recur to it w henever it is tem por arily disregarded.
