Description:
New York Times bestselling author and committed constitutionalconservative Senator Mike Lee reveals the little-known stories behind theFounder's takedown of a tyrannical king and the forgotten document thatcreated America.
There is perhaps no more powerful sentence in human history, written inPhiladelphia in the oppressively hot summer of 1776: "We hold these truths tobe self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed bytheir Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life,Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness."
Despite the earth-shattering power of Jefferson's simple sentence and thedocument in which it is found, many Americans today don't understand orappreciate the Declaration's gravity. As a result, we have lost touch withmuch of what makes our country so special: the distinctly American belief inthe dignity of every human soul.
Our nation was born in an act of rebellion against an all-powerful government.In Our Lost Declaration , Senator Mike Lee tells the dramatic, little-knownstories of the offenses committed by the British crown against its ownsubjects. From London's attempts to shut down colonial legislatures to haulingJohn Hancock before a court without a jury, the abuses of a strong centralgovernment were felt far and wide. They spurred our Founders to risk theirlives in defense of their rights, and their efforts established a vision ofpolitical freedom that would change the course of history.
Lee shares new insights into the personalities who shaped that vision, suchas:
* Thomas Paine, a populist radical who nearly died making his voyagefrom Great Britain to the colonies before writing his revolutionary pamphlet,Common Sense.
Edmund Randolph, who defied his Loyalist family and served in theVirginia convention that voted for independence
** Thomas Jefferson, who persevered through a debilitating healthcrisis to pen the document that would officially begin the Americanexperiment.
Senator Lee makes vividly clear how many abuses of federal power today arerooted in neglect of the Declaration, including federal overreach thatcorrupts state legislatures, the judicial system, and even internationaltrade. By rediscovering the Declaration, we can remind our leaders inWashington D.C. that they serve us--not the other way around.
