"thine equal laws, by freedom gained, have ruled thee well and long; " in a response of two to three sentences, explain how these lines reveal the poet's pride in england's history:

The poet begins with “Thine equal laws,” which has the connotation of respect because of how equal laws would mean justice for all.  The poem continues with “by Freedom gained,” which expresses that the justice granted by equal laws was earned through freedom.  It is important to note here how “Freedom” is capitalized, which expresses how much the poet values freedom—enough to spell it with a capital F.  The poet concludes with “Have ruled thee well and long,” which further expresses his pride in England because of how he feels the laws gained through freedom have done a good job at governing and protecting and have done it well for quite some time.

In these lines, the author talks about England's history, and implies that he is proud of England's institutions. He tells us that the laws of England treat all people as equal (thine equal laws) and that these were acquired due to the freedom that the country has always upheld and defended (by Freedom gained). Because of these laws, the country has been governed well for a very long time (have ruled thee well and long), making him proud of its success.
