LIBERTY
FREEDOM
BY J. EDGAR HOOVER
We can never know or fully appreciate the hardships and
grievances of the courageous men who in 1776 signed the
Declaration of Independence. But I think many present-day
Americans, in viewing the tragic conflict and lawlessness in
our society, can feel something of their concern and anxiety
for the cause of liberty and freedom under law.
We owe a great debt to our Founding Fathers who were
willing to sacrifice all for the right to establish a system of
self-government in which men and women would have a choice
and a part. Because of their valiant efforts, today we live in
a Nation which offers Its citizens more equality, more justice,
more freedom, and a greater opportunity to pursue happiness
than ever provided by any other system in recorded history.
The privileges we share as Americans are not available
to all people. Millions of people living under oppressive and
tyrannical governments cannot understand the unrest and turbu
lence In our communities. They long for a concept of living
which provides the ideals and principles of self-government.
Unfortunately, many Americans today have become so accustomed
to our inherited rights that they tend to take them for granted.
They want and demand the privileges of a free society, but they
do not want to be bothered with the attendant responsibilities.
They shrink from duty and service.
Our system of freedom and justice is not, as some people
seem to believe, a system under which they get what they want
and do as they please without any regard for the rights of others.
Under our rule of law and democratic process, all citizens
are entitled to the same rights and freedoms and the same
opportunity to progress, each according to his own ability.
Likewise, liberty is not a license to choose which laws will
be obeyed and which will be ignored. If we are to fulfill the
visions of our forefathers, we must remember that lawful
process is the only means a free people should use to resolve
differences and effect changes.
Certainly, we must never downgrade the constitutional safe
guards of dissent and petition. These and other rights of
expression are vital to our existence as a free society. On the
other hand, we must not permit the abuse of these safeguards
by dissidents who unlawfully force their will upon the majority
of citizens. The truth is all Americans, if they choose to be
objective, have far more reason to praise than criticize
our Nation.
As we commemorate our independence, let us renew our
faith and pride in our country. Let us make patriotism a common
virtue. Let us acknowledge the abundant blessings we share,
and let us remember that every privilege has a related
responsibility.
