Abstract
- The article presents views and insights of the author on the importance of moral judgments to promote the common good and a democratic way of life in the U.S. Democracy means to us government of the people and it underlies silently all that we do. It has been conceived that the rule of the people would be a government which had back of it certain moral judgments, certain conceptions of good, certain aspirations which grow out of moral sense. The author points out that American life is not carried on by the Government but by a larger number of free, self-compelled, self-disciplined associations of individuals related to each other in good faith for the express purpose of carrying on a particular part of American life.
