ornament of their country the gratification & happiness of their fellow citizens
I found this interesting, because in my recent engagement and in my social psychology class we have been talking about happiness and what makes people happy. Happiness is something that is not easily predicted, because so many different criteria have to be considered when predicting happiness. I think it's interesting how in the time of this document they thought they knew what would make the citizens happy, when in reality there was no real way for them to know much like today.
