We are two nations: one concentrated on rights and laws, the other on rights and wrongs; one radically individualistic and dedicated to the actualized self, the other communal and invoking the common good; one viewing law as the instrument of the will to power and license, the other affirming an objective moral order reflected in a Constitution to
which we are obliged; one given to private satisfaction, the other to
familial responsibility; one typically secular, the other typically religious; one elitist, the other populist.
