"Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
Liberty is the light that guides our freedoms together.
This unifying light is the burden of our Democracy.
It is a burden that builds. And makes strong the nation.
It makes right our freedoms and steadfast our spirit.
Of the Burdens that we, the people, must within our Democracy through individual freedoms as citizens bear, there are Five that are common (Arms, Justice, Liberty, Wealth, and Posterity) and Four that are personal (Superior Command, Enlightened Citizenship, Uncommon Exceptions, and Equal Taxation).
According to their relationships arranged as thus -
The burden of Arms
The burden of Superior Command
The burden of Justice
The burden of Enlightened Citizenship
The burden of Liberty
The burden of Uncommon Exceptions
The burden of Wealth
The burden of Equal Taxation
The burden of Posterity
We shall expound on these burdens as we go...
