Charters Of Liberty

The Charters of Liberty is a compilation of the most significant historical documents ever written-The Declaration of Independence, The United States Constitution, and The Bill of Rights. Also included are the Articles of Confederation.Lest we forget the lessons of the past, let us always remember that the blood of American patriots was shed some 235 years ago to bring about the very freedoms we enjoy today. It was their commitment to the causes of 'liberty and justice for all' that brought about the conditions in which The Charters of Liberty could be established. It is these sacred documents that we must be ever vigilant in safeguarding today. As Samuel Adams spoke so fervently years ago, "The liberties of our Country... are worth defending at all hazards... It will bring an everlasting mark of infamy... should we suffer them to be wrested from us... by the artifices of false and designing men." * Includes background and history of the challenges and struggles the early patriots faced during the creation of each of these documents.* Full text of each document plus original historical images.* Complete with original artist's illustrations to help capture this important moment in the history of our nation.This exciting new book is also filled with a full chapter of Founding Fathers Fun Facts!
