Question

the grandest of these ideals is an unfolding american promise that everyone belongs, that everyone deserves a chance, that no insignificant person was ever born. americans are called to enact this promise in our lives and in our laws. and though our nation has sometimes halted, and sometimes delayed, we must follow no other course. through much of the last century, americas faith in freedom and democracy was a rock in a raging sea. now it is a seed upon the wind, taking root in many nations. our democratic faith is more than the creed of our country, it is the inborn hope of our humanity, an ideal we carry but do not own, a trust we bear and pass along. and even after nearly 225 years, we have a long way yet to travel. while many of our citizens prosper, others doubt the promise, even the justice, of our own country. the ambitions of some americans are limited by failing schools and hidden prejudice and the circumstances of their birth. and sometimes our differences run so deep, it seems we share a continent, but not a country. how does president bush support his idea of unity?

Explanation:

The text emphasizes the American promise of belonging and equality as an ideal to be enacted in lives and laws. It also notes the spread of American - style democracy.

By highlighting the overarching American promise of belonging and equality as something to be enacted in lives and laws, and by emphasizing the spread of democratic ideals as a sign of the promise's influence, while also acknowledging the challenges to unity.
