美国的民主思想和实践.ppt

“唉！我们长期以来受到历史久远的偏见的迷惑，为迷信作了很大牺牲。我们曾经自夸受大不列颠的保护，不去注意它的动机是利益而不是情谊；它并没有为了我们的缘故保护我们免受敌人的侵犯，而是为了它自己的缘故防御它的敌人，为了任何其他缘故防御那些与我们并无争执的人，如果英国不放弃它对北美的自作主张的要求，北美就得摆脱这种从属地位；万一法国和西班牙同英国发生战争，我们可以同它们保持友好关系。 ——潘恩《常识》 《人权宣言》内容： We?hold?these?truths?to?be?selfevident,?that?all?men?are?created?equal,?that?they?are?endowed?by?their?Creator?with?certain?unalienable?Rights,?that?among?these?are?Life,?Liberty?and?the?pursuit?of?Happiness-that to secure these Rights ,Governments are instituted among Men ,deriving their just powers from the consent of Governed, that where any form of Government becomes destructive of these Ends ,it is the Right of the people to alter or to abolish it ,and to institute mew Government. 美国国旗的由来 五、民权法案 ——排除民主宪政的法律障碍 1、“我有一个梦”——真正的平等 so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream.

I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.? ? I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of free dom and justice.? ? I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.  I have a dream today! 今天我要对你们说，尽管眼下困难重重，但我依然怀有 一个梦。这个梦深深植根于美国梦之中。 我梦想有一天，这个国家将会奋起，实现其立国信条的真谛： “我们认为这些真理不言而喻：人人生而平等。” 我梦想有一天，在佐治亚州的红色山岗上，昔日奴隶的儿子能够 同昔日奴隶主的儿子同席而坐，亲如手足。 我梦想有一天，甚至连密西西比州——一个非正义和压迫的热浪
