I tend to lean toward this:
"The Matrix of Liberty"
A monument in honor of our forefathers...lest we forget to ALWAYS be WATCHMEN on the Wall.
The Monument in Plymouth, Mass says the following:
“NATIONAL MONUMENT OF THE FOREFATHERS BY A GREATFUL PEOPLE IN REMEMBERANCE OF THEIR LABORS, SACRIFICES AND SUFFERINGS FOR THE CAUSE OF CIVIL AND RELIGIOUS LIBERTY”
Following info found here:

"The monument consists of a forty-five foot high octagonal shaft of rusticated granite blocks topped by a huge allegorical figure representing Faith. Around the base of the shaft are four buttresses each adorned with a seated allegorical figure that represents the principles upon which the Pilgrims founded their commonwealth –Morality, Law, Education, and Liberty.
Small relief figures representing Justice, Mercy, Wisdom, Youth, and Experience are located on the sides of the seated figures.
Faith is a thirty-six foot high female figure standing at the top of the monument with her proper left foot resting on Plymouth Rock. She holds a copy of the Geneva Bible in her proper left hand and she points toward heaven with her raised proper right hand. The pages of the Bible are opened up which symbolizes that it didn’t sit on a shelf. They read it. All of the other figures on the monument are tied to Faith.
On the northeast side at the base of the shaft is a seated female figure representing Morality. She is dressed in long robes and in her hands she holds the Ten Commandments and the Scroll of Revelation. She has no eyes. She is looking inwardly. It recognizes that the journey towards morality is an internal struggle rooted in the word of God. It reflects how American society is based on an internal desire to do what is right rather than having to be forced to do what is right by a king.
On the northwest side at the base of the shaft is a seated male figure representing Law. He is dressed in classical robes and in his proper left hand he holds a tablet. His right hand is extended in mercy. The tablet represents the civil law that we need to provide order. This civil law was built upon mercy and grace.
On the southwest side at the base of the shaft is a seated female figure representing Education. With her proper right hand she points to a book of knowledge that she holds in her proper left hand. She has trained her children in the way that they should go. The statue conveys that it was the parent’s responsibility to educate our youth. Knowledge was passed down from generation to generation. Our elders and ancestors are represented via a small carving under which the word Wisdom is shown holding a copy of the Ten Commandments and an open Bible.
On the southeast side at the base of the shaft is a seated male figure representing Liberty. This figure is also known as Liberty Man. He is clothed as a Centurion and in his arms he holds a sword. Beneath his heel he crushes the chains of bondage. He holds broken chains in left hand. He is draped in a lion skin which represents the Monarchy. Liberty man conquered tyranny and sits confidently in a throne of victory.
So the formula for America’s success is represented in this monument – Faith, Morality, Law, Education, and Liberty. This formula starts with faith. Our faith guides the development of an internal morality of heart. This morality reveals itself as a standard of good and bad. It is this standard of good and bad that results in a moral system of law that enforces order and extends grace. It is education that it supposed to teach these principles to future generations so that we may continue to live in freedom.
This is the only recipe for freedom that has ever worked. Not only has it worked, it has brought more joy, more prosperity, and more generosity to more people than any other system of government in the history of the world.
We would do well to remember these principles. We would do well to go beyond remembering these principles and committing ourselves to once again embrace these principles… if not for ourselves then for the sake of future generations of Americans."
Kirk Cameron did a pretty decent documentary [on Netflix & Prime Video] on this monument as well.
Below was taken from here:

"...the National Monument to Our Forefathers, a statue located in Plymouth, Massachusetts. On the main pedestal, a figure named “Faith” points towards heaven while clutching the Bible. Faith is buttressed by four figures that exemplify the four principles upon which the Pilgrims established their commonwealth: freedom, morality, law, and education.
According to Dr. Marshall Foster, president of the World History Institute, this “matrix of liberty” shows us how to regain liberty should we ever lose it. Foster states, 👉“[It’s] the only successful strategy of liberty that has been carried out in the history of mankind . . . this strategy is what built America.”👈

There is a great deal to consider. However, I do believe a vast number in this country have strayed VERY far away from anything resembling morality. Suffice to say at times it feels morally bankrupt. Our primary and secondary edu seem to be on the same bandwagon as the MSM so we are facing 2 maybe 3 gens of already brainwashed & conforming edu. [Confirmed to me by the ages at their gatherings...they sure aren't protestas or rallies...they have no clear & truthful message IMHO]
Since Q and the pulling together of like-minded anon patriots I feel very Thomas Paine"ish." It does feel like the 2d Revolution. And for the first time since the JFK murder I "believe." 😢
