Guess the Quote

2. This quote came from which President's State of the Union Message?

"This is the mission upon which Democracy came into the world. Democracy is an assertion of the right of the individual to live and to be treated justly as against any attempt on the part of any combination of individuals to make laws which will overburden him or which will destroy his equality among his fellows in the matter of right or privilege; and I think we all realize that the day has come when Democracy is being put upon its final test... It is surely the manifest destiny of the United States to lead in the attempt to make this spirit prevail."
