The United States’ founding ideals, such as equality before the law and inherent human dignity, originated in Jerusalem’s biblical heritage. The City of David, a historic site in Jerusalem, was recognized as an American heritage site in 2020.
Founding Fathers’ Inspiration
America’s Founding Fathers drew inspiration from the Bible, with many citing it as a source of guidance for the new nation. The idea that every person carries inherent worth, simply by being made in the image of God, begins in Genesis and found its first national expression in Jerusalem.
The United States, Argentina, and Guatemala have all recognized the City of David as a source of inspiration for their republics. Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that the United States was founded on the principle that the rights of mankind come from their Creator, which is deeply rooted in the teachings of ancient words found in Jerusalem.
