Publisher Comments :

The Declaration of

Independence was the promise of a representative government; the

Constitution was the fulfillment of that promise.

On July 4, 1776, the Second Continental Congress issued a unanimous

declaration: the thirteen North American colonies would be the

thirteen United States of America, free and independent of Great

Britain. Drafted by Thomas Jefferson, the Declaration set forth the

terms of a new form of government with the following words: "We

hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all men are created

equal, that they are endowed with certain unalienable Rights, that

among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness."

Framed in 1787 and in effect since March 1789, the Constitution of

the United States of America fulfilled the promise of the

Declaration by establishing a republican form of government with

separate executive, legislative, and judicial branches. The first

ten amendments, known as the Bill of Rights, became part of the

Constitution on December 15, 1791. Among the rights guaranteed by

these amendments are freedom of speech, freedom of the press,

freedom of religion, and the right to trial by jury. Written so

that it could be adapted to endure for years to come, the

Constitution has been amended only seventeen times since 1791 and

has lasted longer than any other written form of government.

A Historical Classic, 17

Mar 1999

Reviewer: A reader

This book captures the words that have changed history. And

contrary to some senator's beliefs, this country is still obviously

run by the people. That is WHY polls are important. Yes, of course

laws have been broken, lies told, deceit laid upon the people, but

what is new? Are we so much more advanced than the people who wrote

the original words in this book were? Or would we like to think we

are superior? If sex, lies, and videotapes were such a derogatory

issue, then Presidents would be removed from office for it. Maybe

senators should realize that they should keep in touch with the

people and garner the power of the people. Then they might be more

successful in maintaining the American spirit, which still lives

strong with or without morals of the past. I highly recommend this

book as so far the best alternative available and an excellent

stepping stone for governments of the future. And most of all, I

appreciate senators with strong opinions because they are the ones

carrying our country into the future. :)
