We the people, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, ensure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare and secure the
blessings of liberty, to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
(Typed entirely from memory, thank you schoolhouse rock.)
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and
of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are
endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--
(On every coin in the country) In God We Trust
I pledge allegience to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands: One Nation
Under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
Separation of church and state my ass. This country was founded on a belief in a creator god and is is ALL of our major documents and mottos.
