What is liberty? When the Founding Fathers wrote in the Declaration of Independence that men and women are “endowed with certain unalienable rights,” among which are “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness,” they largely believed that true liberty was the freedom to act in a manner consistent with a set of moral standards then adhered to by society and taught by religion [1].

I do not call myself a “Never Trumper”, nor do I consider myself a “moderate” Republican. However, I believe that compromise and a commitment to shared norms and procedures (such as free and fair elections, civil liberties, the separation of powers, and especially the rule of law) are essential elements of effective, long-lasting constitutional governance [1].

Religion has formed the foundation of cultures and societies the world over–for thousands of years. Only relatively recently in human history has society begun to question its utility and purpose. This is unfortunate because only in the last 800 years of human history–beginning with Magna Carta, the Treaty of Westphalia, and later protections in British Common Law–have societies begun to provide the legal framework necessary for religions to flourish independent of a political majority’s approbation, [1].

Shortly before the end of class one day during my senior year, my teacher, a man for whom I otherwise have great respect, boldly stated in front of the class that marriage is a relatively recent phenomenon in human history that is not necessary to the maintenance of a healthy society.

In thinking about our struggle as Americans with respecting those with whom we disagree politically, I am reminded of the title character of Shakespeare’s play King Lear.
