Life, Liberty, Property, & the Pursuit of Happiness: What it means to be an American (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781479379620)

The Declaration of Independance written by Thomas Jefferson is perhaps the most famous document describing the unique character of the American experiment. It suggests a most profound concept of human endeavors and the human rights the founders held to be unalienable. This is a book touching briefly but poignantly on these profound rights of Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness, rounded out by an in depth analysis of the rights of Property. All of these are unalienable rights given to man by God not with the intention of being taken away by man. It is a fierce defense of these freedoms and rights and shows how and why they were given to man and why they must be preserved and freely practiced. And finally, there is a connection between God and man related to man's origin and eternal destiny and how these rights (blessings really) are entwined in man's pursuit of happiness and how they involve and include all men no matter where they live.
