Searching for English/British Basis for American Take on Lost Foundational ValuesReader comment on item: An American in Search of the English National Character Submitted by M Tovey (United States), Feb 2, 2021 at 16:06 One wonders if there is a sense or need to question if there is a nexus between how America is governed or why, when comparing the governance of America to Canada, Australia, New Zealand, et al; or if the internal questioning of the validity of the Constitutional form of government in America has any higher moral guidance of an immigrant population that elsewhere in the world. It just seems like people are wary now that if American style of governance cannot be counted on to protect and preserve liberty, then where in the world do the governed get an assurance that things will not devolve into the totalitarian autocratic empires of the dark ages; since it appears that is where the world is now headed.
