ANNEXES
 The Sharon Statement.
Adopted in conference, at Sharon, Connecticut, September 11, 1960.
In this time of moral and political crises, it is the responsibility of the youth of
America to affirm certain eternal truths.
We, as young conservatives believe:
That foremost among the transcendent values is the individual's use of his
God-given free will, whence derives his right to be free from the restrictions of
arbitrary force;
That liberty is indivisible, and that political freedom cannot long exist without
economic freedom;
That the purpose of government is to protect those freedoms through the
preservation of internal order, the provision of national defense, and the
administration of justice;
That when government ventures beyond these rightful functions, it
accumulates power, which tends to diminish order and liberty;
That the Constitution of the United States is the best arrangement yet devised
for empowering government to fulfill its proper role, while restraining it from the
concentration and abuse of power;
That the genius of the Constitution - the division of powers - is summed up in
the clause that reserves primacy to the several states, or to the people in those spheres
not specifically delegated to the Federal government;
That the market economy, allocating resources by the free play of supply and
demand, is the single economic system compatible with the requirements of personal
freedom and constitutional government, and that it is at the same time the most
productive supplier of human needs;
That when government interferes with the work of the market economy, it
tends to reduce the moral and physical strength of the nation, that when it takes from
one to bestow on another, it diminishes the incentive of the first, the integrity of the
second, and the moral autonomy of both;
71
That we will be free only so long as the national sovereignty of the United
States is secure; that history shows periods of freedom are rare, and can exist only
when free citizens concertedly defend their rights against all enemies…
That the forces of international Communism are, at present, the greatest single
threat to these liberties;
That the United States should stress victory over, rather than coexistence with
this menace; and
That American foreign policy must be judged by this criterion: does it serve
the just interests of the United States?
