LIBERTY, FRATERNITY, AND EQUALITY

LIBERTY, FRATERNITY, AND EQUALITY
   the trinity of modern democracy, and which first found expression as a political creed in the French Revolution, of which the first term is now held to require definition, the second to have only a sentimental basis, and the third to be in violation of the fact of things; universal suffrage is the expression of it politically.

The Nuttall Encyclopaedia. . 1907.
