There’s never been a nation like the United States, ever. It begins with the principles of our founding documents, principles that recognize that our rights come from God, not from our government.
Meaning of the quote
The United States is a unique country because it was founded on the idea that our rights, like freedom and equality, come from God, not the government. This means the government can't take away our rights, even if they wanted to. The principles that the country was built on are written in the founding documents, like the Declaration of Independence and Constitution, and they make the United States different from any other nation.
