The five tablets in front of Adams County's four high schools display the following texts:

        The Justinian Code

Now natural laws which are followed by all nations alike, deriving from Divine Providence, remain always constant and immutable, but those which each state establishes for itself are liable to frequent change whether by tacit consent of the people or by subsequent legislation.

        It remains to consider the duty of a judge and in the first place, the judge must ensure that he does not judge contrary to statutes, constitutions and customs.

        The Declaration of Independence

We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain, inalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, that to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.

        The Ten Commandments

Thou shalt have no other Gods before me.

        Thou shalt not worship any graven image.

        Thou shalt not take God's name in vain.

        Remember the sabbath to keep it holy.

        Honor thy father and mother.

        Thou shalt not kill.

        Thou shalt not commit adultery.

        Thou shalt not steal.

        Thou shalt not bear false witness.

        Thou shalt not covet.

        Preamble to the U.S. Constitution

We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

        Magna Carta

No freeman shall be taken or imprisoned or disseised or exiled or in anyway destroyed, nor will we go upon him nor send upon him, except by the lawful judgment of his peers or by the law of the land.

        Moreover, all these aforesaid customs and liberties, the observance of which we have granted in our kingdom as far as pertains to us toward our men, shall be observed by all of our kingdom, as well clergy as laymen as far as pertains to them toward their men.
