Book excerpt: Excerpt from Civil Rights: Speech of Hon. James F. Wilson, of Iowa, Delivered in the Senate of the United States, Wednesday, December 12, 1883 We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed; that whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute a new government, laying its foundations on such principles and organizing its powers in such form as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. This general declaration of doctrine harmonizes with the reciprocal character of allegiance and protection. And it was because of this that the framers of our Constitution projected that definite and comprehensive declaration of purpose formulated in the preamble to that instrument in the words: We, the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect Union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquillity, 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. These ends could not be wholly attained except through the co-operative observance of the reciprocal obligations of allegiance and protection. We did not need the hard lessons and awful experience which came to this nation to affirm the correctness of the principle here stated. The broken columns of other nations were evidences sufficient had we but heeded them; for no people has continuously enjoyed the ends of government as enumerated in the preamble to our Constitution without the co-operation of allegiance and protection. Nor will it ever be otherwise. Nor can this co-operation ever be had by mere declaration of right theories concerning it. It needs the solid food of tact accomplished to assure its healthful action and fix its best results. Hearty allegiance brings peace, security, and power to a government. Effective protection gives contentment, industry, and prosperity to the people. When these conditions coexist the supreme end of government is reached; but when they do not, then we have that other result described by Dr. Lieber in his masterly work on political ethics when he says: Where men, of whntsoever condition rulers or ruled, those that toil or those that enjoy, individually, by entire classes, or as nations claim, maintain, or establish rights, without acknowledging corresponding and parallel obligations, there is oppression, lawlessness, and disorder; and the very ground on which the idea of all right forever rests the ground of mutuality or reciprocity, whether considered in the light of ethics or of natural law must sink from under it. The obligation of allegiance in its extremest action holds both the life and property of the citizen subordinate to the necessities of the Government. If the public enemy threatens the Government the obligation of allegiance may command the presence of the citizen in the Army. The price of obedience may be his life. If he by private act should disturb the order of society his life may be the forfeit, and the taxing power of the Government may consume his property. The obligation covers the service, duty, and possessions of whatsoever character they may be, of the citizen. There is no limit but that of necessity. And who can say that this is not limitless? At least will all admit that within the organized powers, including both those which are expressed and those that are implied, nothing is exempt from the obligation of allegiance. On the other hand, standing as a perpetual, alert, sleepless presence, is the obligation of protect.
