When someone wants to describe America, the word that comes to mind is often "freedom." The founders worked to establish a nation where its citizens would be free to . . free to do what exactly? Free to govern ourselves.
Freedom to govern yourself is the freedom to follow your conscience by making moral choices you believe to be right and good both for you and your society, your neighbors.
It's a concept found in the Bible, as in the meme above:
"You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh. Rather, serve one another humbly in love." Galatians 5:13
