Synopsis :

The Declaration of Independence and United States Constitution are two of the most important documents in American History, both conveying the principles on which the country was founded. Providing the framework and ideals that still guide American Politics today, these writings should be mandatory reading for every American. In a list of grievances against the King of England, the Declaration of Independence professes that all men are created equal and possess certain “unalienable rights” through natural law that no one should be denied. Over a decade after the signing of the Declaration of Independence, the Second Continental Congress recognized the need for a more robust and centralized framework for governing the newly formed United States. The United States Constitution went above a beyond the Articles of Confederation to more clearly define the roles and responsibilities of the Federal Government with the Bill of Rights defining individual liberties. The principles set forth here safeguard the sovereignty of American citizens by establishing civil liberties and placing certain restrictions on government influence. Nearly two and a half decades after its signing, the United States Constitution, with its Bill of Rights, is still revered as the Supreme Law of the Land.
