Senate Resolution No. 112, introduced by the State Affairs Committee, commemorates the 250th anniversary of Patrick Henry's historic speech delivered on March 23, 1775, at the Second Virginia Convention in Richmond, Virginia. The resolution highlights the significance of Henry's words, which inspired the American colonies to pursue independence and emphasized the unalienable nature of liberty. His declaration, "Give me liberty or give me death," is recognized as a foundational moment in American history that continues to motivate citizens to defend their constitutional rights and engage in civic responsibilities.

The Senate resolution reaffirms the principles of liberty, self-governance, and civic engagement that Henry championed, urging the people of Idaho to reflect on the sacrifices made for American independence. It also emphasizes the importance of preserving and promoting these ideals for future generations. The resolution directs the Secretary of the Senate to transmit certified copies to the Governor of Idaho, the Idaho State Historical Society, and the America250 in Idaho Advisory Council to further acknowledge this significant occasion.
