Sample Book Insights: #1 I wrote, It is difficult to describe American government today. It is not a constitutional republic, because the Constitution has been and continues to be easily altered by a judicial oligarchy that mostly enforces, if not expands, the Statist’s agenda. It is not a representative republic, because so many edicts are produced by a maze of administrative departments that are unknown to the public and detached from its sentiment. #2 On June 24, 1826, Jefferson wrote to Roger Weightman from Monticello, declining his invitation to participate in the fiftieth-anniversary celebration of the Declaration of Independence. He wrote, I will ask permission here to express the pleasure which I should have felt in meeting my old neighbors of the City of Washington and its vicinities, with whom I had spent so many years of a pleasing social intercourse. #3 The Declaration of Independence is a crucial document in American history, and its wording is crucial and purposeful. It states that all men are created equal, and that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights. #4 The Declaration of Independence rightly stands as the formal, consensus proclamation for America’s independence and founding. It was adopted by the Second Continental Congress in July 1776, after the battles of Lexington and Concord.
