A stirring 1856 oration on the enduring power of liberty guided by law and civic responsibility.
In this insightful keynote, Edward G. Parker reflections on the American Revolution reveal how love of liberty and respect for law formed the backbone of a new republic. The talk frames liberty and law as inseparable partners, and it celebrates the founders’ courage, foresight, and disinterested service. It also surveys the rise of American democracy and the ways citizens engage with government to safeguard freedom.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book commemorates the 80th anniversary of the Declaration of American Independence, and lauds the sentiment of the American Revolution through the author's oration. The text provides a glimpse into the ethos of the Founding Fathers and explores the influence of the Declaration on the sentiments of the world. The author believes that Liberty and Law must always be considered together and that Republican rule is the best method to ensure this harmony. The Revolution is examined in detail, and the author emphasizes the immense heroism and sacrifice of the Founding Fathers, and their absolute disinterest in self-serving rewards. The author contends that the republican system established through their efforts has led to the elevation of equal human nature in America, citing as example the current and former Presidents, both men from humble origins. The book's thoughts and ideas center around the profound impact the Revolution had on America and the world, enabling fresh forms of government and broadening the very thoughts and feelings of humanity. It makes the bold claim that these profound changes meant the world was a more positive place to live immediately following the Declaration of Independence.
