~Preserve the Constitution ~
The Declaration of Independence
We are introducing a new segment called “Preserve the Constitution” where we will share the principles that our Founding Fathers used to shape our nation, and we will explain how and why we must fight to preserve our Constitution. It enshrines our rights, and it is indeed the cornerstone of our free society!
In order to fully appreciate our unique nation, we need to understand the great documents that were created by those who founded the United States of America. These documents are special because the men who wrote them experienced tyranny, government overreach, and hardship. They wanted future generations to live in a free society.
The first document we will look at is the Declaration of Independence, written mostly by Thomas Jefferson and was approved by the Second Continental Congress on July 4, 1776. You can read it Here or listen to it being read Here.
