Answer 1

In "Who is loyal to America?", Henry Steele Commager believes that the narrow definition of loyalty denied freedom of thought. He wrote this article during the time of the Cold War. In this piece, he expressed that loyalty to America is not simply conforming to government rule but rather questioning it especially when it is wrong. It is this same thinking that has led America to gain freedom from British control.
