It is true that all men have certain inherent morals. These morals that uniquely define man, are what separates us from the rest of the animal kingdom. Man knows how to act within socially acceptable standards while animals do not have any social standards. This human characteristic to distinguish between what is morally right from wrong is evident in every individual and constitutes a unifying all embodying “entity”, the soul. Along with our natural instincts as animals, we have the ability to choose whether we will submit to our animal urges or follow the true path of the soul. This is once again an example of the difference between man and animal. The soul exists universally among men and is the basis of deriving the basic laws of government. Emerson writes, “Justice we see and know, Love, Freedom, Power. These natures no man ever got above, but they tower over us, and most in the moment when our interests tempt us to wound them.” Through the soul, the importance of the ideals of justice, love, freedom, and power, are seen. The general laws in the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights, concerning the justice and freedom of men, all carry hints of moral, or nearly religious attributes. All of our U.S. mint is inscribed with the phrase “In God We Trust.” There are many similar laws in other free countries that carry nearly the same intent and purpose as our laws of freedom and justice. The hints of morally and spiritually derived laws of the United States are justifiable, due to the amiable and pious characters of its drafters. These men were unquestionably of good moral values, seeing truth in the idea that all men deserved freedom and justice. Their desire to oppose that which forcibly limited their freedom was greatly influenced by the soul. They embodied these truths into the laws and rights formulated in our government.

and see what truth really exist. This reality found from the shared soul, is the purest form of truth. All men have this ability to perceive the truth, and a common knowledge of goodness unites and unifies us all. Man’s instinctive actions in making moral choices are all part of the soul. Man can perceive that which is ultimately good, only if he looks past the set laws and dogmas of the majority.

On the soul’s autonomous existence Emerson writes, “The sovereignty of this nature whereof we speak is made known by its independency of those limitations which circumscribe us on every hand.” Wit
