  • America the Beautiful American's Creed the First Five Bill of Rights
    America The Beautiful O beautiful for spacious skies For amber waves of grain For purple mountains majesties Above the fruited plain America, America God shed his grace on thee And crown thy good With brotherhood From sea to shining sea Lyrics written by Katherine Lee Bates (1895) American’s Creed I believe in the United States of America as a government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a Republic; a sovereign Nation of many sovereign States; a perfect Union, one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice, and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes. I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws; to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies. Written in 1917 by William Tyler Page of MD The First Five Bill of Rights (Paraphrased) The first ten amendments added to the U.S. Constitution are called the Bill of Rights. The 4th Grade is doing first five Bill of Rights only. The second phrase is to give the students some more information; only the first phrase needs to be memorized, ie Freedom of Speech, Press, and Religion. However, the students must understand what that phrase means. A parent volunteer may ask you to explain the meaning. A student who explains the meaning without having the exact wording will get full credit also. Understanding of the bill is more important than exact memorization.

Middle, a Page pin from 1930 is more elaborately designed than the average uniform lapel pin and features an enamel shield with links attaching a pendant that indicates the date of service. Right, a pin from 100th Congress (1987– 1989) has a House seal in the center and is similar to those worn by Members on their own lapels.

Class Photo from The Congressional Eagle Yearbook, 2007, Collection of the U.S. House of Representatives For more than two centuries, young people served as Pages in the U.S. House of Representatives and enjoyed an unparalleled opportunity to observe and participate in the legislative process in “the People’s House.” Despite the frequent and colossal changes to America’s national fabric over that period, the expectations and experiences of House Pages, regardless of when they served, have been linked by certain commonalities—witnessing history, interacting with Representatives, and taking away lifelong inspiration to participate in civic life.

  • The American's Creed
    The American's Creed I believe in the United States of America as a 1 government of the people, by the people, for the people; 2 whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; 34 a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; 56 a perfect union, one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes. 7 I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; 8 to support its constitution; 9 to obey its laws; 10 to respect its flag; and 11 to defend it against all enemies. 12 The American's Creed was developed by William Tyler Page, clerk of the United States House of Representatives in 1917, in answer to a national contest for such a creed. He incorporated in a brief, clear statement the basic American traditions and ideals, as expressed by the founders of our country and by its leading statesmen and writers. Key to the The American's Creed:, 1. Closing words of Preamble to the Constitution; 2. Lincoln's Gettysburg Address; 3. Declaration of Independence; 4. James Madison in The Federalist, No. X; 5. Speech by Daniel Webster, Jan. 26, 1830; 6. Preamble to the Constitution; 7. Adapted from closing words of Declaration of Independence; 8. Speech by John Hancock; 9. United States Oath of Allegiance; 10. George Washington's Farewell Address; 11. War Department Circular, April 14, 1917; 12. Oath of Allegiance. OUR DEMOCRACY To you and me, America is the finest country in the world.
