The Revolutionary Words That Forged America: The Definitive Guide to the Declaration of Independence (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781645721208)

RECLAIMING THE MEANING, PURPOSE, AND POWER OF AMERICA'S FOUNDING DOCUMENT

The Declaration of Independence forever transforms our understanding of equality, liberty, and the proper role of government. Its revolutionary philosophical framework is the bedrock foundation of the Constitution and our system of self-government. Yet America's most important document is largely forgotten, misunderstood, and even attacked--fueling a crisis in the American spirit that threatens the nation's very survival.

Marking its 250th anniversary, in The Revolutionary Words that Forged America, Judge Michael Warren provides a line-by-line (often word-by-word) analysis of America's charter--its drafting, historical circumstances, underlying philosophy, and legal force. He contrasts the Founders' beliefs and aspirations with their opposites throughout world history--including communism, fascism, royal despotism, dictatorships, and caste societies.

This book also provides a sorely needed review and thorough analysis of the Declaration's twenty-eight grievances. Without the grievances, the rest of the Declaration is just a beautiful, empty shell of wonderful poetry. Americans are rebelling against a bloody tyranny, and the grievances explain why. Many of the issues that confront the Founders in 1776 echo throughout the ages--including today.

This deep and illuminating review paves the way for restoring America's First Principles of the rule of law, unalienable rights, limited government, the Social Compact, equality, and the right to alter or abolish oppressive government. The time has come to reclaim the Declaration and save the very idea of America--and this is the definitive guide.
