We the people are the government (letter) | Letters To The Editor

In the May 5 letter “Biden wrong about ‘we the people,’ ” the writer is outraged that President Joe Biden stated that “we the people” are the government. The writer states, “ ‘We the people’ are not the government!” The entire premise of our government was eloquently stated by our 16th president, Abraham Lincoln, when he said “that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth” 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 people’s minds and desires.
