Summary
President Dallin H. Oaks calls for unity in a divided nation, urging Americans to embrace two foundational constitutional principles: moral agency—the freedom to act on conscience—and the Constitution’s structure, which fosters community among diverse groups. He argues these ideals aren’t in conflict but must work together, balancing individual rights with collective harmony. Drawing on Lincoln’s democratic Golden Rule, Oaks champions “principled accommodation”—respectful compromise that honors differing views, as seen in landmark laws protecting both religious liberty and LGBT rights. Ultimately, he reminds us that civic duty begins with seeing neighbors as children of God, bound by love, not enmity, to build a more perfect union.
