“The United States, or the American Republic, has a mission, and is chosen of God for the realization of a great idea. It has been chosen not only to continue the work assigned to Greece and Rome, but to accomplish a greater work than was assigned to either. In art, it will prove false to its mission if it do not rival Greece; and in science and philosophy, if it do not surpass it. In the State, in law, in jurisprudence, it must continue and surpass Rome.” IfsHas BeensArtIdeasStatesPhilosophyLawPoliticsUnitedUnited StatesEconomyGreaterProveAccomplishMissionsChosenRealizationLiberalismRepublicRomeGreeceRivalsIn-lawsGreat IdeaJurisprudenceScience And PhilosophyGreece And Rome Author:Orestes Brownson
