The Evolution of the American Character 
 

#1 American passion for freedom - It takes many forms political, religious, and economic

#2 Pursuit of education is the fundamental form of opportunity to make yourself into whatever you wish. Far different from old world entitlements handed down from dynasty to dynasty.

#3 The value of popular government – Americans never seriously doubted the right of the people to rule democratically 

#4 We as Americans are willing to experiment with new things!!!
