520 From the Back Cover: Americans by birth or by choice, we
are all united by the common civic values expressed in our
founding documents, the Declaration of Independence and
the Constitution of the United States. This common civic
identity binds us together as one nation. The Citizen's
Almanac, a collection of America's most cherished symbols
of freedom and liberty, serves as a modern day lifeline to
our rich civic history. From historic speeches to landmark
Supreme Court decisions, The Citizen's Almanac offers a
fascinating look into the fundamental civic values that
have helped shape the country we know today. In The
Citizen's Almanac, both native-born and naturalized
citizens will find important information on the rights and
responsibilities associated with United States
citizenship. Becoming an active participant in our system
of government further strengthens our great democracy. As
former Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis once said,
"The only title in our democracy superior to that of
President [is] the title of citizen." Through civic
participation and further learning about our country, its
founding ideals, achievements, and history, America's
newest generation of citizens will enjoy the fruits of
responsible citizenship for years to come.
