This year being the Bicentennial of our United States Constitution gives us reason to reflect on our nation as a nation and on our people as a people. In 200 years of Constitutional government our America has grown from a sparsely populated nation on the frontier of civilization to become the most important nation on earth. We are unique in many respects. We were peopled by immigrants from many nations. We conquered a vast wilderness through the centurylong westward movement from our eastern states to the west coast. In that westward movement. the American people developed an inner vision that molded the general American character into one with a high degree of optimism.
