More about the book

The essay explores the pivotal moments leading to the American Revolution, notably the Declaration of Independence, and the underlying themes of liberty and the fight against tyranny. It argues that while the revolution succeeded in overthrowing British rule, it also replicated certain European governance structures. The author contends that the Founding Fathers achieved significant milestones, such as enshrining unalienable rights in the Bill of Rights, yet highlights the complexities and limitations of these achievements, reflecting on the nature of human governance and societal change.
