In the May 5 letter âBiden wrong about âwe the people,â â the writer is outraged that President Joe Biden stated that âwe the peopleâ are the government. The writer states, â âWe the peopleâ are
not the government!â
The entire premise of our government was eloquently stated by our 16th president, Abraham Lincoln, when he said âthat government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earthâ in his famous Gettysburg Address.
The government is
of the people, because it was created out of a need to remove us from a dictatorial monarchy that did not respect or honor the people. The choice to sever ties with England came out of the peopleâs minds and desires.
