ABSTRACT
The American worker is brought up from childhood, in school and in public life, with this orientation, and when he comes to reflect on it himself he has no reason to change the viewpoint inculcated into him in so many ways. It is a frequently observed peculiarity of the American worker that he perceives a kind of divine revelation in the Constitution of his country, and consequently he reveres it with devout awe. His feelings towards the Constitution are as if it were something holy that is immune from mortal criticism. 'The citizen believes that he is still king in the State and that he can bring things to order if he only wants to. The words of the orator speaking to the people, "If the American People will stand up in its power and majesty", are by no means simple cliches to his audience.
