The phrase "E. Pluribus Unum" that is stamped or printed on to American money is latin for "Of the many, one.". It is commonly interpreted to mean that American citizens are united in their society, goals and aspirations.

The U.S. supreme court was founded by President James Madison for the power elites of colonial America as a condition to their continued support of the brand new constitution. This august body has since been called upon throughout American history to interpret new laws and decide whether these new laws are in keeping with the spirit of the constitution, the sacred opinion. The court was created as a check to the power of the mob to unite and nationalize private holdings. The court has always been made up of power elites and the appointment, which made by the president, and approved by Congress, is for life.

It is a system that was specifically designed to protect the huddled masses from themselves, and to protect the power structure of the upper class already in place in the new nation. Then as now, the working class has a tendency to try to organize itself in this country so that it can collectively bargain for better hours, better compensation, safer workplaces and any other issues of concern, like child labor. Occasionally this has led to strikes that have required federal intervention to break. The government in America is supposedly the people; it is, after-all, a democracy. These strikes are sometimes very violent, consisting of soldiers of the national guard shooting the strikers

The phrase "Of the many, one", though it does sound protective of the rights of the private citizen to constitutional guarantees, is actually a reference to the American practice through capitalism of funneling the combined efforts of the working class, (the many) through the control of the power elites (the one).
