RE: Lincoln Birthday Event
Further to David's
"His famous definition of democracy — “government of the people, by the people, for the people” — was invoked in the first Czechoslovak Republic after World War I, in Hungary in 1956, in Iran in 1979, and at Tiananmen Square in China in 1989."

The French Constitution (as does Japan's) uses those words . I dont know when the current French one came into being, but I see that Japan's was 1947.
Also (according to Wikipedia) Sun Yat Sen, first President of China, used the words in his Three Principles

Is king o' men for a' that” Robert Burns
