Description
Liberty Under the Law is a 1920 speech by Sen. Warren G. Harding, Republican candidate for president. Speaking about the rights of American citizens, Warren said the responsibility of government is to guard and sustain those liberties.
Violence and terrorism were prominent in America and Europe after World War I. In Russia, the Bolshevik closure of the democratic Constituent Assembly, the signing of the peace treaty with Germany, the massacre of the Imperial family, attacks on churches, and the Red Terror shocked the western world.
Against this background, Sen. Harding stated that democracy was the future of government and that the rights of freedom impose the obligations which maintain it. He also speaks of his approval of collective bargaining in labor/management relations, while emphasizing the right of every American to seek employment without being forced to accept the conditions of any trade union.
