Liberty Bell
"Proclaim Liberty throughout all the Land
unto all the Inhabitants thereof"

which gives freedom to all individuals
within the framework of God's Ten Commandments.
The Constitution of the United States
thereby encourages it's people to develop
their individual God given Talents
according to their desires and abilities for
themselves, their descendants and their country.
