Commentary Toward Books The Declaration of Independence and The Constitution of the United States

The Declaration of Independence was the promise of a representative government; the Constitution was the fulfillment of that promise.

On July 4, 1776, the Second Continental Congress issued a unanimous declaration: the thirteen North American colonies would be the thirteen United States of America, free and independent of Great Britain. Drafted by Thomas Jefferson, the Declaration set forth the terms of a new form of government with the following words: "We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness."

Framed in 1787 and in effect since March 1789, the Constitution of the United States of America fulfilled the promise of the Declaration by establishing a republican form of government with separate executive, legislative, and judicial branches. The first ten amendments, known as the Bill of Rights, became part of the Constitution on December 15, 1791. Among the rights guaranteed by these amendments are freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of religion, and the right to trial by jury. Written so that it could be adapted to endure for years to come, the Constitution has been amended only seventeen times since 1791 and has lasted longer than any other written form of government.

Evaluate Based On Books The Declaration of Independence and The Constitution of the United States

It is nearly impossible to review such an important historical work. In my opinion this is one of the most important documents in history.

I love the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. It holds us to a higher standard, I've been ready it more lately as America steers further from it. My mom and I decided to make it a tradition to read it at least once a year in celebration of the fourth, as well as any time a law is passed that goes against it.

What do I need to say? Read them, understand them, and give thanks.Also let me recommend, treasure, protect, and pray we keep them, unbroken.Please.

Only the foundation of our daily lives, the lives of our grandparents and our great grandchildren. Its worth reading. Try to find the place where certain classes of people are not protected. Go on, it's fun. Check those Beautiful Amendments out. How bout that - who do they apply to? Citizens, legal immigrants, illegal immigrants? The plot twist in the 2nd Amendment is riviting. I don't want to be a spoiler but the part about a Well regulated Militia being necessary - WOW!!!Quiz to follow.PS -

A very interesting historical document, if one knows the entire background story that led up to it and all the players that took part and contributed as well as those ignored and forgotten.

The great edition of one of the greatest constitutions in the world!

The Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States of America are two documents that every American should own or at the very least be familiar with.
