Synopsis

This book offers an examination of the history and development of the United States Declaration of Independence's tenets, examining the founding principles that continue to guide the Constitution and legal system of the United States. The author, an early American revolutionary, provides important historical testimony and first-hand accounts of the American Revolution from the perspective of a man who was present at the Declaration's inception and had a significant role in shaping a new American government. Challenging the perspectives and prejudices of the European powers that had dominated the American colonies, the author explores the concepts of natural law, natural rights, and the sovereignty of the individual within the context of the American Revolution. Incisive and thought-provoking, this book provides an unmatched insight into the roots of American independence and the unique vision of its founding fathers.
