Are we a propositional nation or are we an ethnic one? Are we founded on a set of abstract ideas or according to a specific racial lineage? And the answer is neither. We are founded on a covenant, on an oath that runs deeper than blood, on a pledge made at a particular time by particular people, to themselves and their posterity, to live before God and under Him. Or to put it this way, every nation that is a nation shares a moral order, so it makes it a nation. (05:13–05:28)
