Description
The Declaration of Independence as you've never seen it before Some of us cherish it with near-scriptural reverence. Others simply take it for granted. In this contentious new look at the Declaration of Independence, however, celebrated attorney Alan Dershowitz takes "America's birth certificate" and its principal author, Thomas Jefferson, to task. Dershowitz searches for the sources, history, and underlying reasoning that produced the Declaration and its particular language, from its reference to the "Laws of Nature and Nature's God" through the long list of complaints against the abuses of King George III. He points out contradictions within the document, notes how the meanings of Jefferson's words have changed over the centuries, and asks many disturbing questions, including:- Where do rights come from?
- Do we have "unalienable rights"?
- Do rights to "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" have any meaning?
- How could slaveowners claim to believe that "all men are created equal"?
- Is the God of the Declaration the God of the Bible?
- Does the Declaration establish a Christian State?
- Are there "Laws of Nature and of Nature's God"?
